Pennyroyal Plant (Mentha pulegium) in 2.5 inch Pot - Live Starter Plant - Certified Organic - Aromatic Herb

You will receive a live Pennyroyal plant (Mentha pulegium), rooted in a 2.5-inch pot.Native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East, Pennyroyal is a low-growing aromatic mint known for its strongly scented foliage, small lavender-purple flowers, and spreading growth habit. Traditionally grown in herb gardens and around pathways, this vigorous perennial is appreciated for its pleasant minty fragrance and ornamental groundcover potential.Pennyroyal thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Like many members of the mint family, it spreads readily and benefits from occasional trimming to maintain a tidy appearance. Its fragrant foliage may help deter certain garden pests, while the blooms attract bees and other beneficial pollinators during the summer months. Avoid allowing soil to dry out completely, especially during hot weather.Pennyroyal should not be consumed during pregnancy, and concentrated oils from the plant are considered toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.FREE E-BOOK & BOOKMARK - "Using and Growing Herbs" By Kara Vaneck.
