Mint – Japanese Menthol Mint
$6.50
A PERENNIAL growing to 50cm with long, thin and downy grey-green leaves that are elliptical to lanceolate or broadly ovate in shape, and sharply toothed margins.
Grows in any moist soil in a full sun or partial shade position. Can tolerate heavy soil.
With a strong taste of peppermint, leaves are eaten raw in salads, or cooked as a flavouring in foods. A herbal tea is made from the leaves. It can be used as a flavouring in sweets and drinks.
As other mints, it is antiseptic, carminative, febrifuge and stomachic, and can be used as a home herbal remedy especially valued for headaches, fevers, or minor digestive complaints.
Rats and mice dislike any mint, and this can be grown to discourage these pests.
