Tips from Fran
Mentha requienii is a garden favorite for those who have it. It does its job covering the ground really well. I was introduced to this plant from my kids…who rolled in a hill of it at a colleague’s house and then got into my truck. They smelled soooo minty!!! This is a perfect plant for an entryway path. Crazy cool aroma!
