Default Purchasing Mint for garden.


"Texas Garden" wrote in message
om...
Can any one tell me where I can purchase (order) Kentucky Colonel Mint
and Red Stem Mint? What is Vietnamese Mint? Could it be red stem
mint? Thank you


Vietnamese mint is quite different in smell/taste from 'normal' mints,
their habit is rather different and they are unrelated botanically.

There are 100s of types of 'normal' mint as they hyrbridise easily and
of course each has its local names. If your Red Stem mint is anything
like the Redlegs mint I have the only resemblance it has to Vietnamese
mint is that they are both smallish aromatic herbs.

This site will give you the rundown
