Appearance: This small herbaceous plant has a spreading habit and typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 inches, forming dense, mat-like patches. Its leaves are tiny, round, and bright green. It produces small clusters of  lilac flowers, although it is primarily grown for its foliage rather than its blooms.

Aroma and Flavor: The leaves are highly aromatic with a strong minty fragrance, similar to spearmint or peppermint. When used in culinary preparations, they add a refreshing and cooling mint flavor to dishes and beverages.

Culinary Uses: This herb is used mainly for its minty flavor and fragrance. The leaves can be used fresh or dried in a variety of dishes.

Growing Conditions: This plant thrives in cool, moist, and shaded environments. It prefers well-draining soil with consistent moisture and is commonly grown as a ground cover or in containers to control its spreading habit. It is not tolerant of hot and dry conditions, so regular watering is necessary to keep the soil consistently moist. It can also be grown indoors as a potted plant.

Care and Maintenance: This plant is relatively low-maintenance. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is important to maintain moist soil. A layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.
