Tea from the pond! This ancestor of many current mint varieties was very often used in tea in the past. For those who want or can make a bog garden (any waterproof container with an overflow hole halfway up), this is an ideal patio plant. The extra water buffer makes watering much easier. From June until autumn, the plant has elegant, lilac flowers in clusters one above the other.
