Meehania cordata

Meehan's mint

A well-behaved mint... for once! In damp, shady spots, Meehan's mint will creep along slowly, putting out soft, toothed leaves on trailing stems. It bears soft purple-blue flowers in spring, and the inflorescence is surprisingly long-lasting, supplying nectar to low-riding insects.
