Care:

This plant prefers moist to well-drained soil. While it can tolerate some dryness, you will want to water it frequently.

Grow this dainty ground cover in full sun to part shade. Enjoying regular feedings with a good liquid fertilizer, it will do its best for you in areas other plants might find uncomfortable. It tolerates a wide range of soils, as well as some foot traffic. Keep in mind that it will freeze in the colder temperatures but will self-seed from year to year. Pinch back the foliage to maintain the shape of this ground cover.

Description:

Also known as Creeping Mint, Corsican Mint's tiny leaves and flowers form a dense, soft and spongy mat of fragrant foliage. Tolerant of limited foot traffic, this pretty ground cover can be planted between patio blocks or paving/stepping stones. Consider using this plant in moist, part-shade areas, herb gardens, rock gardens, and containers. The leaves are edible and may be used to flavor foods, salads, and teas. This plant is native to the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Montecristo.

Please wait with ordering Corsican Mint if temperatures have reached 90° F. or more in your state. They are sensitive to overheating and might not arrive in good condition. Thank you!
