Great for punches, teas, potpourris and in perfumes. Dark green foliage, purple stems and pink-lilac flowers. Used for teas - excellent for stomach indigestion. Pronounced pineapple aroma. Some white variegated foliage similar to apple mint with a sweeter scent.
White streaks vary with the season.
Golden foliage adds a nice color contrast for rock gardens and edges of flower beds. Mild oregano flavor. Needs winter mulching. Stronger, pungent flavor and white flowers. Good bee plant.
