It is said this mint was named for Julia Child. I've grown this mint, and it has a very pleasing scent.
Here is what Richter's has to say about this mint:
"Julia's Sweet Citrus' has bright green leaves, roundish and slightly crinkly. The scent is not quite lemon, not quite orange -- or of any other citrus for that matter -- but it is definitely a wonderful melange of citrus. Great for teas and punch, and for any dish calling for mint. Suited for any sunny garden, and makes a great hanging basket plant as it trails over and downward. Flowers are white tinged with a touch of purple."
