This mint bush's parent can be a bit of a straggler, spreading low and wide, with pale lilac flowers in spring.

Purple Haze is mint bush after boot camp - it's bushier and denser, it stands up straight, the leaves are longer, and the flower colour is deeper. At half a metre around, this sharp-dressed little native is compact enough for pots too.
