Has anyone heard of this mint variety and where to get plants. I bought this years ago at Calloway's Nursery in Irving Texas, but have not had any luck this last year in the Austin area. I would not mind starting from seeds, but can't find those either!
I remember when I grew this it had that little tang and fresh flavor of pineapple and it was awesome.

Thank you Toni!
I will check out those sites.
If in your searches you happen to run across colossal basil, let me know. When I grew that, I could wrap it around a stuffed chicken breast the leaves where so big. I am having trouble locating those seeds, and I think they where heirloom. I've checked Park, Thompson Morgan, and Burpee, they don't carry it.

Glenndann, aren't they just awesome! I found seeds for the chocolate mint from Parks. I love the fragrances of the different mints....containing them is always a chore once established, but still well worth it.

Glendann, Buda us about 20 miles south of Austin.
Wrennie and gingersplace, thanks for the website information. I've added those links to my favs. I may have to put myself on a budget for the yard before starting this year!
