Corsican Mint (Mentha requienii)
$19.95
Mentha Requienii is a member of the mint family of plants and commonly referred to as Corsican Mint. It is a very fragrant, hearty and fast-growing perennial that is perfect as a ground cover. It features bright green leaves and the iconic square stem of mints. It is known for having a strong minty-sage aroma, which is why it is frequently used in the culinary capacity for flavoring. This mint is native to Corsica, Italy and Sardinia, but has been naturalized in similar environments elsewhere.
Corsican Mint is low growing and likes partial shade with moist soil. Drying out the plant between watering will help increase the hardiness of the plant, as well as essential oil production. This results in a stronger and more flavorful herb!

Korean Mint (Agastache rugosa)
$19.95
Fragrant Medicinal Herb with Purple Blooms and Cooling Flavor
Korean Mint is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb with upright growth, serrated green leaves, and tall spikes of lavender-purple flowers that bloom through the warm months. Unlike true mints, Agastache rugosa does not spread aggressively, forming a tidy clump that fits beautifully into herb gardens, pollinator beds, and food forests. The leaves release a sweet, cooling aroma with notes of anise, mint, and basil, while the flowers attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects in abundance.
This plant thrives in heat and sun, grows quickly, and offers both ornamental beauty and practical harvests. Its long bloom season, strong stems, and vibrant color make it a standout whether planted in the ground or in containers.
Cultural & Culinary Significance
In Korea, China, and East Asia, Korean Mint—known as Baechohyang—has been used for centuries as both a culinary herb and a medicinal plant. The leaves are brewed into soothing teas traditionally used to support digestion, reduce heat in the body, and calm the stomach. In cooking, the fresh leaves are used to flavor soups, dumplings, rice dishes, and herbal broths, adding a bright, refreshing note. In traditional herbal medicine, Agastache rugosa is valued for its aromatic, balancing properties and is still widely used today.
