Description
Blanket your garden in fragrance with the enchanting Corsican Mint, a miniature marvel renowned for its intense scent and lush, low-growing form. This herb forms a delicate, aromatic carpet, ideal for use as ground cover or between paving slabs, where it releases its signature minty fragrance underfoot.
Despite its reputation for preferring well-drained soils, experience shows that Corsican Mint also thrives in moist conditions, particularly when partially shaded. Its tiny, bright green leaves—unlike those of other mints—are typical of plants adapted to hotter climates, giving it a morphologically curious character. Even its roots defy expectation: they grow deeply rather than laterally, distinguishing it from stolon-producing relatives.
Uniquely, Corsican Mint is the sole mint used in the production of Crème de Menthe, the sweet, mint-flavoured liqueur that originated in France around 1885. With its visual delicacy, botanical intrigue, and powerful fragrance, this mint is not only a conversation piece but a delight for all the senses—making it a must-have for mint collectors, gardeners, and culinary enthusiasts alike.
