Water Mint
- Product number: 368000
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Mentha aquatica
Strongly scented wild mint with strikingly beautiful pink flower spikes. As the name suggests: it thrives in moist to wet places. This mint has healing properties for colds and flu.
All mint varieties grow in sun or shade. In the sun, the most compact growth and the most intense color, scent, and flavor develop. Each variety goes through two growth stages: in spring, there is an upward growth spurt for flowering. After that, horizontally (vigorously) growing runners emerge, which develop into new plants in a different location. Bees and butterflies love mint flowers.
