Mini Mint Corsican Mint Seeds

(Mentha Requienii)

Mentha Requienii, commonly known as Corsican Mint, is one of the smallest members of the mint family, valued for its fine textured foliage and strong fragrance. It forms a low growing mat of tiny round leaves that release a refreshing mint scent when touched or walked on.

This perennial herb spreads gently to create a soft green carpet and produces very small pale lilac flowers in season. It prefers cooler conditions and consistent moisture, making it suitable for shaded areas, containers, and between stepping stones.
