Water Mint

Mentha Aquatica or water mint is a common sight along the fringes of our forest streams and wetlands, flourishing in both full sun or dappled shade. You can often smell its presence long before you see it, and what a beautiful plant it is to behold whose sent is heavenly, green leafs frequently tinged with purple flank a square stalk leading to a crowded round head of pinky lilac flowers. Just like others of the mint family it can be utilized in cooking and drinks.
