Horse mint – Mentha longifolia
Mentha longifolia is a perennial mint with opposite, toothed leaves and terminal flower spikes. Its small flowers have petals joined into a tube, rather than separate free petals. The terminal spikes distinguish its flower arrangement from the rounded axillary whorls of pennyroyal, Mentha pulegium. Horse mint is the catalogue designation for this seed entry.
