Seeds: Herb Wild Mint

The corn mint, field mint, or wild mint, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family This mint has tiered clusters of small white to light purple flowers which appear along the stem in the heat of summer. It primarily attracts flies and wasps for its nectar, but butterflies, and small bees will visit on occasion. All parts of the plant are very aromatic. The strong minty scent of the foliage usually keeps herbivores at bay. Mentha arvensis is rhizomatous and aggressive and therefore may not be suitable for small landscape plantings.Seeds saved from plants grown locally will grow and produce better then plants grown in foreign environments with different soil, weather and moisture then what we have here. All of the seed that we grow and sell are from non-hybrid heirloom varieties that are all non gmo and open pollinated. All of our seed saving work is done by hand without machines so you will get some plant material and chaff in with the seed. All seed packets have been made from recycled magazines. Approximately 200 seeds per packet.
