Apalachicola False Rosemary
Conradina glabra
A strongly aromatic evergreen mint shrub, narrow-leaved and rosemary-like, hazed with pale lavender flowers in spring. Federally endangered and confined in the wild to a small stretch of the Apalachicola bluffs, but propagated and sold — growing it is a small act of conservation. Demands sharp drainage.
