- Low growing evergreen ground cover
- Tiny white edible flowers
- Perfect for sensory gardens with its year round mint aroma
Mentha requienii, commonly known as Corsican mint, is a tiny, low-growing perennial herb prized for its dense, aromatic mat of bright green leaves. Often forming a soft, fragrant carpet just a few centimeters high, it is ideal for between stepping stones, rock gardens, or as a groundcover under taller plants. Its small leaves release a refreshing minty aroma when crushed. Tiny lilac to white flowers bloom in summer, attracting pollinators. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, Mentha requienii is hardy, easy to maintain, and spreads gently, providing both fragrance and visual interest in low-maintenance, sensory gardens.
