In Japan this mint is known as English Mint. This mint is also known as Corn Mint, Field Mint and Canadian Mint. Japanese Mint is also naturalised in many areas of Central and North America, particularly in wet or damp areas like streams. It grows at high elevations from 200-1500m in China and is also found in East Asia, Japan, Korea and some areas of Europe. The natural habitat of Mentha arvensis var piperascens is wet grasslands, found near rivers and lakes. Seeds ripen from mid-summer to mid spring. The summer flowers are purple and held in loose pseudo whorls or 8-10 flowers on small bracts. When the leaves are crushed they release a strong menthol fragrance which can be confused with the Peppermint plant aroma. The long, thin and downy grey-green leaves are elliptical to lanceolate or broadly ovate in shape, with a sharply toothed margin.

Japanese Mint is a perennial growing up to 60cm tall and from 60cm up to 1 meter wide. 1 Japanese Menthol Mint Herb Plant in a 50 X 75mm tube - General growing instructionsĪll of our Herb Plants are grown organically with certified organic potting mixes and fertilizersīotanical Name: Mentha arvensis var piperascens) This is how we pack and send your Herb Plants to all states except TAS & WA
