Menthol Mint

True to name, Menthol Mint has an unmistakable smell of menthol. Use just like other mints, in salads, cooked meals, as garnishes or in drinks.  Mint teas are used as a digestive aid for treating fevers and headaches. Leaves crushed and inhaled or used in a steam inhalation helps relieve congestion or clear the sinuses.

Growing Info
Like all mints, menthol mint does spread. It can be contained in pots but will have to be kept well-watered. Mints also tend to dieback through winter time, give it a trim back and watch for green growth at the start of spring rains.
