Aromatherapists: stop here! Flower heads are very large, showy and produce some of the finest essential oils. A plant in bloom can reach up to 5' tall, in July, but we suggest you prune, the light violet spikes & branches, to a manageable, more attractive, 2-3 foot height.

The tiny, bright green leaves on this low groundcover smell exactly like “Creme de Menthe” liqueur. Be sure to plant between stepping stones in moist and, shaded areas only! It will die back during summer drought, therefore additional water is necessary. Not the most reliable perennial in Zone 5-6, so cover with evergreen boughs in winter.

This low groundcover Pennyroyal variety repels fleas and is wonderfully fragrant. Rub fresh leaves on pant legs before entering woods, to repel ticks and mosquitoes. Plant next to kennels or by paths where cats prowl. It seems to be hardier mixed in lawns. 4" tall blue flower spikes bloom in summer. Avoid ingestion if pregnant! Don't use the essential oil of Pennyroyal on pets. Only use leaves.
