Mint

Mint (Mentha) - Marsh herbs or rock plants of which the variegated form of M. rotundifolia is common, and useful for edgings or for clothing any dry spots. Another is M. gibraltarica, a variety of the native M. Pulegium, used in summer for flat geometrical beds on account of its compact growth. In its growth it hugs the soil, and throws out roots at every joint, and all that is necessary is to keep cutting off little plants and potting them, or planting them in shallow boxes, and in a very short time they will in their turn bear cutting up in like manner. A native of S. Europe, it is somewhat tender, and is generally killed in winter.

Mentha Requieni

Mentha Requieni - A minute creeping plant with a strong odour of Peppermint, and trails about among the tiniest plants in the rock garden. I use it often for covering the ground beneath Tea Roses, and it spreads and grows everywhere. It is the smallest flowering plant grown in gardens, and for chinks in paved pathways one of the most charming.
