Mentha Requienii, Mint Corsican: Native to the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Montecristo, Corsican Mint has fragrant, edible foliage. Also known as Creeping Mint, it spreads to form a dense, soft and spongy mat of tiny leaves and flowers. It tolerates a variety of soils and can handle limited foot traffic, so you may consider using Corsican Mint between paving/stepping stones or patio blocks. Other options for planting include rock gardens, herb gardens, and containers. Leaves can be used to flavor teas, salads, and other foods. Please be careful when ordering Corsican Mint if temperatures have reached 90° F. or more in your state. They are sensitive to overheating and may not arrive in good condition. Thank you!
