Also known as 'candy mint'. The minty sweetness of the vapor makes it one of the most popular Essential Oils. Once thought to be a species, but has been found to be a perennial hybrid that only proliferates by spreading its rhizomes underground. Very hearty and fast-growing herb with reddish veins and lightly fuzzy leaves that can grow virtually anywhere. Its interesting chromosome count can vary between 66 and 120 chromosomes.
