Mentha requienii - Corsican Mint

Corsican Mint is a hardy, low-growing mint that makes an excellent groundcover. Only 2-6cm in height, its bright green, fragrant leaves and mauve flowers form a lush carpet with a delightful creme-de-menthe scent that intensifies when stepped on. Perfect between paving stones or to cover soil in pots, it can also be grown as an annual and it often self-seeds.
