Mentha Requienii Seeds - Herbal Plant

Mentha requienii seeds produce low growing aromatic perennial plants commonly known as Corsican mint. This compact mint species forms a dense mat of tiny green leaves and spreads across the soil surface as a groundcover plant. It is commonly used between stepping stones, along pathways, and in shaded garden areas where low growing coverage is desired. The plant adapts well to moist environments and cooler climates, thriving in partially shaded locations with consistent soil moisture. During the growing season, it may produce small pale purple flowers above the foliage.
