Pogostemon heyeanus
Malayan Patchouli

Labiatae

This is a very attractive bushy shrub.
About 45cm in height and 50cm in spread.
Ours are planted facing west and have yielded many flowers and leaves for drying.
The make a great border and look good most of the year, slowing down for winter but never disappearing. The flower is not really noteworthy but with the delightful fragrance of the leaves all year around, that does not seem important.
