Unleashing an enchanting aroma, this petite perennial weaves a tapestry of upright and spreading stems, adorned with tiny lilac flowers in summer. A non-edible variety, this charming ground cover beckons with its semi-evergreen nature and small, pale green leaves. Crush the foliage underfoot, and the air is filled with an invigorating peppermint perfume. Perfect for pathways or as a soil-hugging carpet in boggy pond margins, this mint variety can withstand a gentle trim or even foot traffic. Not only a sensual delight, Mentha pulegium also serves as a natural deterrent to troublesome ants, making it a multifaceted treasure for your garden.
If using as a boggy/marginal aquatic, plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond at a depth of 0-5cm (0-2").
- CAUTION toxic if eaten/skin & eye irritant
