Corsican mint is a ground cover and produces tiny purple flowers, growing no higher than 1/2" (12mm)

Herb Usage

 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.

    Well grown, well packaged plants

    Posted by Peta Stevens on 15th Apr 2020

    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.
