Corsican Mint Seeds for Planting - Herbal Plant

Corsican Mint is a low-growing perennial herb known for its very small aromatic leaves and dense creeping groundcover habit. The plant spreads along the soil surface to form a soft carpet of fine green foliage and produces tiny pale purple flowers during the growing season. It is suitable for rock gardens, pathways, containers, and shaded garden areas. Corsican Mint grows best in cool to mild climates and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil, performing well in partially shaded locations.
