Leucosceptrum Japanese Shrub Mint

A group of underutilized and undemanding perennials that are more shrub-like in appearance. The stems can become quite woody though should be treated like most herbaceous perennials and cut back in early spring. These hardy Japanese plants, with their varied serrated foliage and spiked flowers are indispensable for their late autumn show. These woodland gems prefer part shade, morning sun is ideal, and even soil moisture.
