Looking great recently is a new, still undescribed dryland, shrub mint from south-central Georgia. This amazing dwarf Clinopodium sp. nov. Upson County, matures at only 6″ tall x 18″ wide with a stunning show of pink flowers for us, in early June. We’ve long treasured the shrubby wood mints, but this is truly exceptional. Hopefully, it will get a real name before too long. It is somewhat similar to the 2020 published, Clinopodium talladeganum, but appears to be different enough to warrant species status.
Looks very interesting. Maybe one day soon, we will get to add it to our South Georgia garden in Statesboro.
