It’s one of the most tactile and aromatic mints, widely grown for culinary use, teas, jellies, and ornamental planting. I also use it to add depth and aroma in cut flower displays.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap text-sm-e sm:text-base\"\u003eThe foliage is aromatic with a fruity, minty flavour, milder and more floral than spearmint or peppermint.
