The family is very large and consists mostly of herbs and bushy shrubs (rarely small trees).

The most striking feature is the bilaterally simmetrical flowers arranged in verticillasters (flowers grouped around the stem). The flowers have 5 fused sepals mostly with a prominent upper lip. The corolla is embedded in a calyx of 5 fused petals. The colour is mostly shades of white, purple, pink and blue and rarely yellow.

The leaves are often aromatic and the stems are often square.

Lamiaceae propagate extremely easily through cuttings.
