Mentha ×rotundifolia, commonly known as Apple Mint or Woolly Mint, is a hybrid perennial herb that is a member of the mint family. It is a vigorous grower, reaching heights and widths of 1.5-3 feet (0.46-0.9 meters). This plant is characterized by its rounded leaves and woolly texture, with a distinctive apple-like fragrance. The flowers are white to pale pink and bloom in mid to late summer, presenting a modest display that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Apple Mint is valued for its aromatic leaves and is often used in culinary applications, including teas, jellies, and as a flavoring in various dishes. It is also appreciated for its ease of maintenance and rapid growth, making it suitable for ground cover or border planting. In the garden, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers medium to moist conditions in a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, or sandy soils with good drainage. While it can be invasive, spreading through rhizomes, this characteristic can be managed by planting it in containers or using barriers to restrict its spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
