Apple mint
Mentha suaveolens
Apple mint is an easy-to-grow, fragrant herb that flourishes in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. It spreads vigorously via underground runners, so plant it in containers or use root barriers to prevent it from taking over nearby garden beds. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth and enjoy their mild, fruity-mint flavor in teas, cooking, and beverages.
