***Description for this perennial available with future update!***>>>>>This plant can also be used as a marginal aquatic plant growing in shallow water. It can also grow as a bog plant needing constantly moist soil rich in organic matter. As a rain garden plant, it will thrive is a depressed area in the landscape that collects rain water from a roof during spring and summer periods of rain but then go dormant if the water hole dries out completely.>>>>>For the home garden, the species is generally too aggressive to mix with other plants>>>>>>>>>Also known as "Kentucky Colonel" mint, this hybrid of applemint (Mentha suaveolens) and true spearmint (M. spicata) has a wonderful fruity spearmint aroma and flavour. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Its improved disease resistance and high yields make it a popular choice for commercial cultivation. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The vigorous tendencies of mints allow them to be cut more frequently than most other herbs, growing back to a useful stage rapidly. For the home grower they are perfect for cultivation in large pots, where their tendency to march out of the garden and into the lawn can be restrained.
