JAMAICAN MINT BUSH - Small 1/2" oval glossy lime green foliage. A very minty savory. A tender perennial mint. Unlike many mints, this variety has a woody stem and upright growth habit. The fragrance makes people "ooh" and "aah". It makes a terrific hot or iced tea. Just boil for a couple of minutes and let steep. It is the source of Kamasutra mint bathing gel. Likes sun. May be container grown. This plant is not winter hardy, cannot freeze.
