Mentha requienii (Corsican Mint)

Corsican Mint (Mentha requienii) is a charming, low-growing aromatic herb prized for its tiny bright green leaves and refreshing mint fragrance. Forming a dense carpet of foliage, it is ideal as a living groundcover between pavers, in rock gardens, terrariums, and around water features. During summer, delicate pale lilac flowers appear above the foliage, adding subtle seasonal colour while attracting beneficial pollinators.

Easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil, Corsican Mint thrives in full sun to part shade, particularly in cooler climates or lightly shaded positions. Its compact growth habit and delightful fragrance make it an excellent choice for edible gardens and ornamental landscapes alike. Whether planted in containers or used to soften pathways, Corsican Mint offers beauty, versatility, and a fresh mint aroma throughout the growing season.
