Pennyroyal mint is a short perennial rhizome of 10 – 55cm tall. It likes damp conditions and is found in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. It has a strong aromatic scent. It blossoms in summer from July to the end of September and its flowers are pink-lilac or occasionally white.
They’re grouped in the leaf axils in verticillasters (false whorls or clusters) which spread along the stem.
