Mint - Moroccan UT
Mentha spicata var. crispa
Not to Norfolk Island, NT, SA, TAS or WA
Syn. tuareg mint, maghrebi mint.
Moroccan Mint is a hardy, spreading, herbaceous perennial herb with a sweet, crisp, minty taste. The leaves are smaller than spearmint and the flowers are lavender and appear in mid-summer. It grows 40-60 cm high. We recommend growing all mints in a container such as large saucer as they are fast spreading, vigorous plants although Moroccan is a more compact plant than some others. It is tolerant of a range of soil types and will grow from full sun to a semi-shaded position. It is one of the most useful of the culinary mints and besides the traditional Moroccan Tea can be used in sauces, potato salad, watermelon juices and cucumber sambal. To prepare Moroccan tea, green tea is first brewed, then boiled with sugar, and then fresh mint is added and the mixture allowed to steep for several minutes before serving. It is easy to dry or freeze some for use in winter when the plant is semi-dormant. The flowers are attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.

Syn. native pennyroyal, bush mint.
This is native herb or bushfood of southern and eastern Australia. It is an herbaceous perennial growing in clumps to 30 cm high.

Tiny native bees are attracted to the small white flowers that appear over the summer. The fragrant leaves can be used for herb tea, or any recipe that calls for mint. Use it with caution though as it is closely related to pennyroyal.

Mint - Pennyroyal UT
Mentha pulegium
Not to Norfolk Island, NT, SA, TAS or WA
Syn. fleabane, lurk in the ditch, squawmint, mosquito plant, pudding grass.
Pennyroyal is a low growing, to 15 cm high, groundcover perennial with pretty mauve flowers. It prefers moist, humus-rich soils in semi-shade and will continue to spread into areas with these suitable growing conditions. The small, glossy, green leaves are very aromatic to walk on. Pennyroyal is an effective insect deterrent and can be strewn anywhere ants are a problem. Dry some leaves to deter silverfish from bookshelves. It is also considered a good mosquito and flea repellent. Grow it in damp areas of the garden where mossies are a nuisance. Like all mints we recommend growing it in a container such as large saucer to keep it under control. Pennyroyal should not be used as food as it is considered toxic, to people, pets and poultry. This is not surprising given its usefulness as a pest control.
