Mentha cervina 'Alba' P9
Mentha cervina 'Alba' is a compact, aromatic perennial herb prized for its refined appearance and subtle peppermint fragrance. It features narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and whorls of small white flowers that bloom from early summer to early autumn. Particularly well-suited for damp or marginal planting areas, it thrives in moist soil and adds interest and scent to water garden edges or boggy borders. The plant’s nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators, while its restrained growth habit makes it easier to manage than other mints, making it a thoughtful choice for wildlife-friendly and contained garden designs.
