This tiny mint has a big scent. It grows like a moss and young plants are easily mistaken for weed until you touch it. To enjoy the delicate little flowers you need to bring a magnifying glass.

I like this opinion

Wonderful planted between pavers in a walkway or patio. Best started early in the spring. Will root rapidly in pots despite cold temperatures (even frosts).

I like this opinion
