Mentha aquatica - Water Mint

Mentha aquatica, commonly known as Water Mint, is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia. True to its name, this wetland specialist thrives in saturated conditions, making it a staple for water gardens, stream beds, pond margins, and boggy zones. It features reddish stems, serrated purple-tinted green leaves, and dense, rounded heads of lilac-pink or pale-violet flowers that bloom throughout the summer.
