Japanese Shrub Mint ‘Golden Angel’
Are you looking for a foliage plant to brighten up shady corners of the garden?
Japanese Shrub Mint ‘Golden Angel’ may be the answer. This stunning perennial boasts bright chartreuse foliage that forms an attractive mound. It is easy to grow and truly a low maintenance plant. Creamy white flower spikes appear in September but the star attraction is the vibrant foliage that makes a statement. In the winter, the plant will completely die back but will return again in the spring. Grow this plant in organically rich soil with good drainage.
You can find Japanese Shrub Mint in our Shade Perennials section in the greenhouse.
