American corn mint
Mentha canadensis
American corn mint thrives in moist, partially shaded spots and spreads readily via runners, making it ideal for herb gardens or naturalized areas. Water consistently to keep the soil from drying out, and trim regularly to control its vigorous spread. Harvest leaves as needed for culinary or medicinal use — the flavor intensifies just before flowering.
