Australian mint bush

We have several native mint bushes (Prostanthera sp) growing in our big bush garden and I just adore them. I was never a fan of this group of plants previously but I think they are wonderful. They have a beautiful tangy mint smell (much lighter and tangier than an ordinary mint plant you might grow as a herb) and a vase of cut mint bush in the loo provides a lovely fresh aussie bush fragrence. This bunch is still lush over a week since it was cut. I wonder if I could make a living growing mint bush commercially?
