Corsican Mini Ornamental Mint (Mentha requienii) - Corsican mint is a spreading, ground-hugging plant only growing 1 - 2 inches high with petite, round leaves that emit a powerful, minty aroma. Also known as creeping mint, it spreads up to 1 foot wide by narrow stems that take root as they grow. Corsican mint can be somewhat finicky, especially when it comes to irrigation. These plants don’t tolerate drought, which means the soil should be kept consistently moist but not soggy.
