| This plant was passed down to me from my Great Grandmother. It is doing great in my daughters garden.
Its leaves smell of gum. It is slow spreading making a nice 2' clump of gray green upright leaves. It has mint like purple/blue blossoms in the fall. Any ideas? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Spearmint or peppermint? |
|
| More like a spearmint smell but doesn't spearmint have regular fuzzy mint leaves? |
|
| Can you post a photo of the entire plant? Might get a definitive answer then. The leaves don't look quite like peppermint and stems aren't darker. Hmmm. |

| Costmary seems to be the going theory on the Herbs forum. I'm not familiar with costmary but it seems a reasonable guess. FataMorgana |
