A friend of mine in Oakdale has beautiful, lush Corsican Mint every
summer,between her stepping stones, to the point the stones are almost
covered. She says it comes from seed set by her plants the year before so
therefore the ground is bare until about mid June (I think that's when she
said). A couple years in a row she's given me pcs of it, the 1st time AFTER
it had bloomed, so we figured I got it too late to have it seed in my garden.
So last summer she gave me more BEFORE it flowered, so now I'm looking
forward to see if it will appear in June. Is it possible to get seed in the
stores for it? That would be easier.
