description for "Mint: Mentha aquatica citrata"
Like its cousin the Lemon mint, Lime mint has a pleasant fresh aroma. Its leaves are distinctly lime-scented and will lend a wonderful flavor to drinks, salads, poultry, or fish. Give it a sunny garden spot with rich, well drained soil. Can be planted outdoors in the Autumn. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
