Mentha arvensis
Mentha arvensis Field Mint.
Mentha arvensis, Field Mint
Description
A small little 1' perennial with a small blue flower clusters on a spike of scented green leaves. This one grows at higher elevations along creeks and in meadows. It has managed to make its way around the world in different habitats. I have no idea why it is not used more often in the trade. It's a delightful plant needing only water in most locations. Those of you in mild climates should not get excited when Field Mint disappears for the winter, it is used to bad climates and will hibernate. Take your cuttings to dry for tea no later than the first few frosts or before the snow falls. We saw this one on the east side of the Sierra growing along streams.
