Mentha australis - Native river mint
 
Native River Mint loves moisture and shade, and does best in boggy soil. However, it can be grown in dry areas, in sun or shade. Native River Mint (aka. Wild Mint) is a smaller, more delicate relative of more well-known mints like peppermint and spearmint. It has long been used in Aboriginal culture as a flavoursome bushfood, insect repellent and medicinal herb. A fantastic addition to a native herb garden.
