No contest-BEST Mint to grow |
| Many people have issues growing mint- that issue being the mint decides to grow everywhere. Not so with Cherokee mint. This is the most properly behaved mint I have ever encountered. I started some plants 8 or so years ago, let them go to seed, and even neglected them some years, and this plant is still the original size, no runners, no seedlings, no spreading, no mess. And the smell/taste...you have never tasted mint until you have tried this plant. An amazing unique plant in every way. One note- the open faced flowers attract all types of beneficial flyers including parasitic wasps. Its best to grow this in a location with little pedestrian traffic. |
