Pennyroyal Mint is traditionally used to make a refreshing, aromatic tea. This hardy, ground hugging perennial, has pungent peppermint scented leaves when crushed. Throughout summer, the pretty lilac blooms make a pretty display, attracting pollinating insects to the garden. Mentha pulegium thrives in moist soils, romping through the front of sunny borders or paddling at the edge of ponds. Height: 20cm (8″). Spread: 50cm (20″). Planting depth: Zones 1 & 2 to 5cm (2″) below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow this moisture loving Mint in boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 5cm (2″) below water level. Choose a position in full sun.
