This description was machine-translated.
Description
The Moroccan mint 'Marokko' is the classic variety for sweet peppermint tea, mild, clear, and slightly sweet in aroma, lacking the sharp note of peppermint. It spreads by runners and will fill any bed you give it.
Care instructions
Plant it in a pot or a root barrier ring to prevent it from overtaking the entire bed. Water regularly; it prefers moist, semi‑shaded conditions. From June onward, prune fresh shoots continuously and cut back before flowering to preserve the strongest aroma.
