Corsican Mint Seeds - Herbal Plant

Corsican Mint is a very low-growing perennial plant known for its tiny leaves and strong mint fragrance when lightly crushed. It is commonly used as a ground cover in shaded rock gardens, between stepping stones, and in small ornamental garden spaces. This plant forms a dense, carpet-like mat and prefers cool, moist, and well-drained soil conditions. It spreads slowly and is often used for decorative landscaping where a fine-textured, aromatic ground cover is desired.
