Sharon said:. . . . and that is what I've been doing all day long. Cutting back and pulling out wayward mint. I really do smell good!!

I cannot believe I didn't realize lemon mint was Monarda! I have some lemon balm. Lemon balm is too strong for me. Almost has that soapy smell to me because it's so strong. But we keep a good stand of it because the bees love it. I really will need to contain is soon though.

@Newyorkrita Rita, if you keep the chocolate mint in a pot it will be fine, and it smells so good!!!

Sharon, I got an apple mint when I was in MI but it is not varigated. I would be happy to take some cuttings to send you though. It's a hairy mint, like pineapple. My pineapple mint is varigated. If you need some of it, I'd be happy to send you some!
