Carpet Mint Seeds - Herbal Plant

Carpet Mint seeds produce a very low growing perennial herb commonly known for forming a dense, carpet like mat across soil surfaces. This plant is widely used as groundcover in shaded gardens, between stepping stones, and in rock garden areas where a uniform green covering is desired. It spreads by creeping stems and develops tiny aromatic leaves that create a soft textured ground layer. Carpet mint performs best in cool, moist environments with partial shade and consistent soil moisture. When established, it forms an even green carpet that remains low to the ground throughout the growing season.
