Here Corsican Mint likes as much sun as it can get. It survives in part shade with lots of water. It doen't like stuff piled on it, so don't mulch it. I had a nice patch by a stepping stone, but DH mulched all my flower beds & it hasn't appeared again this year. It dies back in the winter but comes back each summer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Bell" <justjess01@gmail.com>

No, I wanted something low and flat that will grow around the stepping
stones and such.  Filler stuff.  Monkey grass would be too tall for
what I want. But thank you for the offer Pam.

yep, pretty tough stuff.  did you try lirope (sp?), some people call it
monkey grass - I can dig you up some and send it in September when the
weather is more cooperative.
