Corsican Mint is available again at The Herb Patch

We have been without this little gem for a while, but it is available again now at the nursery, and will be available again online soon.

Corsican mint  is a tiny leaved, very low growing member of the mint family.  When planted beside a path it release a delightful minty scent when walked on. Tiny mauve flowers in summer.   Makes a good ground cover herb for a damp location.  Can be used in the kitchen giving a strong minty flavour to dishes, and is most famously used as flavouring in ‘Creme de Menthe’.  Can be used as a companion plant to brassica plants in the veg garden as the scent will help repel some pests.
