Korean mint (Agastache rugosa)

Unlike the more familiar common mint that goes everywhere in your garden, this mint is a clump-forming variety which means it stays put! It can grow up to 1m high with a spread of 50cms. It likes to be planted in full sun but does better if sheltered from wind. It produces the most beautiful purple flowers in the summer which are highly attractive to pollinators. Use the leaves as you would mint – torn and added to salads or cooked in a range of dishes.
