| Yes, I grew it last year, and have some more coming up this year. It's wonderful. I found it at my local nursery, although I have seen it in the garden centers of Home Depot and Lowes. |

| I've been growing it for many years. It has a tantalising smell and taste, like a Mint Patty. Any nursery should be able to get it in for you, on order. |

| We love the stuff. Hubbie just added it to his mint bed. Can' wait to start using it in teas, candies and even salads this summer. One funny thing. Our cats hate the stuff. Was pinching the stems back the other day and my cat Sushi came strolling up to say howdy. Held it out to him, he got this awful scrunched look on his face and ran away after taking a whiff. My daughters cat did the same thing. The lab puppy next door though seems to love taking a good sniff. |

| I guess I'm lucky and have a superb nursery here where I love. Homewood. They have every type of mint known the man, just about. No special order needed. It's always there. Their herb section in the greenhouse is HUGE! I love going there. I've taken many pictures inside the greenhouse, of the herbs, and the beautiful flowers they have for sale. It's an awesome nursery. They've been in business for over 40 years, and they know their stuff. Look at their beautiful Gerber daisies:
 And their Orchids. I did a treatment on these:

| I've been growing this for years. It's very, very invasive. It has nice dark brown stems and veins in the leaves. And did I mention how invasive it is? |
