A very small-leaved member of the mint family, Corsican mint is an old garden favourite. The leaves have a wonderful aroma and it is very effective if planted between pavers where the fragrance can be released underfoot. It is a fast grower and does well in moist areas in the garden, like water gardens and ponds as well as in pots. Tiny, purple-blue flowers appear in summer.
