I got it from a nursery in Memphis a while ago. The real name is 'Eau de Parfum' so you can find it listed that way. Mine is in too much shade, but I have noticed that it's slowly moving itself toward the sun. I like it because it has a real perfumy flavor, unlike the curly spearmint which is tough as nails and has taken over the rest of my yard. <LOL> I give that one to everybody who likes to drink mojitos.

Zem...where did you find that French Perfume Mint?  I have tried to
look that up online and can't find a listing of it anywhere?

I agree with Bonnie.  Dwarf mondo grass would work well.  It likes part
shade and grows to about 4" high.
