Positive winging On Aug 1, 2006, winging from Cincinnati, OH (Zone 6a) wrote:

This is a variation of peppermint with a sweeter flavor and scent. As with all mints, vigorous to invasive growth can be contained by planting in partial shade or in containers.

I love this mint in iced tea. Growing it in the ground was a mistake though, it is very invasive and a constant battle to keep it in check. It's very winter hardy and just keeps coming back.
