Mentha rotundifolia ‘Bowles Mint’
“Apple Mint”

Attention Mint aficionados! This lovely, soft leaved mint has a  rounded form & a superior selection to many of the varieties commonly offered. It’s also more rust-resistant & has less of a tendency to run amok. It’s commercially cultivated as the primary ingredient in mint sauces & is indispensable as a go-to plant for Summer drinks. Mojitos!  Mint grows pretty much anywhere & tolerates almost anything. In addition to being tasty & having a smorgasbord of medicinal uses, the fuzzy leaves & rounded 2’x2’ form make a soothing textural mass that gently compliments its neighbors. Grow in a pot if you’re unwilling to mind the runners, as even a well behaved mint is still a mint, after all.
