I love mint. Not only does it smell lovely, it makes for a wonderful tea or additive to lemonade to cool summer's heat. (It's also pretty good mixed into a mojito.) Mint, however, can be a bane in the garden. I have to dig my herb bed again, to eradicate the rogue mint that has come back. I probably left a root or two in place last time I dug it out, and it's come back with a vengance. This year, I'll be planting the mint into containers.
I'm adding this beautiful varigated variety to my mint stash: ginger mint.
Isn't it beautiful? Golden streaks on a bright green leaf, with bright red stems. Gorgeous!
