What I rec'd was odd looking. It smelled like mint, tasted like mint and looked mintish (i am no expert). I assumed it was a hybrid hiding in a little plastic package with ORGANIC BASIL on it. Hmmm. Even the picture was minty. I know I'm new to so many varieites of things, but if you haven't had this...you MUST! It's an absolutely wonderful additive to a good pasta dish. And I'm sure other dishes as well. Anyone know where Basil Mint comes from? critterologist Frederick, MD (Zone 6b) June 15, 2009 10:01 PM Post #6693258 Well, that's cool! I've tried 'Oregano Mint'... now I'll have to be on the lookout for 'Basil Mint'! If you've got a piece left, you can probably get a plant by rooting it like a cutting in a glass of water. :-)
