{"title":"Collinsonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eCollinsonia is a genus of mint relatives (Lamiaceae) native to eastern North America, containing some members that are popular as herbal remedies for a variety of ailments. However, we are interested in Collinsonia's ornamental characteristics, and it has those, too. Collinsonia species are herbaceous shade plants that produce late summer clusters of small, pastel colored flowers that upon close inspection reveal a wonderful little frilly beard on the lower petal. The plants are not unlike some woodland garden Saliva species in form and function with a loose, coarse habit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCollinsonia Growing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCollinsonia flowers are really fascinating to observe up close.
