Mentha spicata var. crispa Moroccan

<p style="text-align: justify">Mint is not difficult to grow, <strong>it thrives and spreads easily</strong> in the vegetable garden, which is both its main quality and its main drawback! Indeed, <strong>mint tends to become invasive</strong>, especially <span class="attr">if the soil and exposure suit it. However, not all species are as colonising: </span>deer mint, for example, behaves more modestly!</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span class="attr">Easy to grow, mint is also known for <strong>attracting beneficial insects</strong> and <strong>repelling unwanted garden pests</strong> like aphids, ants, and even some rodents. In my garden, I grow it beneath my fruit trees, and when it flowers, I can observe many beneficial insects such as hoverflies, tachinid flies, etc.<br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify">There are numerous species and varieties of mint, each offering distinct fragrances and uses. Among the most commonly cultivated are <strong>peppermints</strong>, <strong>spearmints</strong>, and <strong>round-leaved mints</strong>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">In cooking, the use of <strong>fresh mint</strong> is relatively uncommon, yet it can enhance the flavour and freshness of many dishes, from tabbouleh to chocolate mousse! Mint harvested at the right time and then dried is also a true delight in the heart of winter!</p>
