How to Grow and Care for Corsican Mint
June 5, 2023 - Corsican mint, also known as Mentha requienii, is perennial in warmer zones, from 7 to 11. It bears very tiny pale purple flowers in summer, somewhat similar in appearance to creeping thyme. Also like creeping thyme, the tiny leaves of this herb make it suitable for growing around stepping stones or walkways where it provides a fresh burst of scent when stepped on.

Corsican Mint
Corsican Mint is the smallest member of the mint family, also known as mini mint. This diminutive mint creeps along, hugging the ground with its deeply scented leaves and tiny purple flowers. The leaves are not as palatable like peppermint but release a more intense scent and are used as the flavoring of creme de mint. It likes a moist, dappled light location and can be used in containers or as a filler around stepping stones. Corsican Mint is grown as an annual. It will often self-seed in colder zones. Spreads well even during its first year.

April 13, 2024 - It's a low-maintenance way to create an eye-catching front lawn or backward rockery. Of course, if you live in a part of the U.S.A. where it may be considered invasive, you might want to think twice. Corsican mint (Mentha requienii) — also sometimes called creeping mint or rock mint — has been popular in American gardens since at least the 1980s, as a 1985 Research Extension Series publication on ground covers for warm climates attests.
