I'm thinking about starting a few mint plants in containers... as a starting point for
using plants for culinary purposes..

Before plunking down the money for whatever is being sold locally, are there
specific mint plants that you would recommend for their taste and use in cooking ??

Are there any mint plants used specifically for fragrance ??

Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations !!

ps.... easter lillies have been planted and are still developing new pods
and blossoms... amazing plant...

Thanks all for your helpful responses.....

I'll be trying the varieties you've suggested... it would be nice to try something
homegrown, instead of store bought.

As suspected... I was cruising the local 'Wally's World' today... they had one
type of plant labelled "mentha". No other information given.

Thanks for rec. gardens

Peter
