Mentha requienii is a native of Europe, but has been naturalised worldwide. Corsican mint has a peppermint taste, but due to its small size, is more of an ornamental plant than a culinary one. Corsican Mint prefers, moist partly shady areas,. It does not like to dry out.
Corsican mint is a ground cover and produces tiny purple flowers, growing no higher than 1/2" (12mm)
Corsican mint is used in the preparation of Creme de Menthe The traditional formula steeps dried peppermint or Corsican mint leaves in grain alcohol for several weeks (creating a naturally green color), followed by filtration and addition of sugar.
Our potted Corsican Mint herb plants are generally available to buy online between March and September.

Not my only purchase. All plants top quality, value for money, delivered faster than I could reasonably expect.
Healthy plant. I like the packing and labelling. My plants arrived promptly and still damp.
Excellent well grown and rooted fresh plants.
now planted and look like they're doing well. Very quick delivery considering the difficult times. Thanks
Helathy plants arrived quickly in very good packaging
The plants arrive in excellent condition. I was impressed with the level of packaging. Now planted and doing well.
In these very difficult times, it is a delight to find a herb supplier who still has a few plants, they arrived extremely well packed and in really good condition, I will certainly buy again from you, when all this is over and your stocks return to normal. I am setting up a small herb garden, but want unusual among the basics.
Lovely, healthy plants. Very speedy delivery. Thank you!
