The foliage of Australian mint bush is small and rounded, only about a half inch wide. The deep-green leaves have a pungent, mint-like aroma. The scent becomes more noticeable when the leaves are rubbed or brushed against. In a warm room, you can detect its fragrance as well, even without touching it. The small leaves are held on slender stems on a multi-branched plant. It tends to grow upright and is a good candidate for training into a standard or topiary. In addition to its fragrant foliage, Australian mint bush also bears attractive flowers. In early spring, it comes into bloom, bearing a profusion of small, bell-shaped flowers. Each flower is less than a half inch long, but there are dozens and dozens of them in bloom at a time on a mature plant. The pale-lilac blooms line its stems, nearly obscuring the foliage completely.
