Mentha, Mint 'Pennyroyal' Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Pennyroyal is a dwarf creeping plant ideal for cool moist areas. Its compact habit is perfect as a filler between patio and stepping stones, where its delightful minty fragrance is released with each step.
Pennyroyal seeds are very small and are easiest to start indoors about 10 weeks before transplanting. Thinning is not usually necessary. Transplant small clumps to a protected area in late spring. Pennyroyal prefers a cool location with regular moisture for best growth. Cut individual leaves at any time once plants are established. Can be used as an insect repellent; not recommended for consumption.
