description for "Herbs: Mentha pulegium"
Dwarf Pennyroyal is a smaller, denser version of the English pennyroyal. This ground hugger is a good choice if you want to grow herbs between stepping stones. It will release its pungent scent as you stroll through the garden. Give it a sunny spot and don't let it dry out. Gardeners in northern zones should keep tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
