Description
This unique specimen presents Sweet Bugleweed, a herbaceous perennial, cultivated in an informal-upright style. It features a slender, green stem supporting lanceolate leaves with serrated edges, and small flower clusters emerging from the leaf axils. This represents an unconventional attempt to apply bonsai aesthetics to a non-woody plant.
