Mentha requienii, commonly known as Corsican Mint, is a perennial herb that is deciduous in colder climates and evergreen in milder ones. It is native to rocky, moist locations in Corsica and Sardinia. As one of the smallest members of the mint family, it typically grows to a height of 3–10 cm with small oval leaves measuring 2–7 mm long. Corsican Mint produces tiny mauve flowers from July to August, which are insect-pollinated and exude a strong peppermint aroma. The plant forms a dense, mat-like ground cover, making it visually appealing even when not in bloom.

Corsican Mint is valued for its intense minty fragrance, which is released when the leaves are disturbed, making it an excellent choice for planting between stepping stones or in areas where it will be brushed against. It is also used as a ground cover or in rock gardens due to its low-growing habit and preference for shady conditions. In cultivation, it requires well-drained soil and partial to full shade, with consistent moisture but good drainage to prevent root rot. Overwatering should be avoided, and the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. While it is drought-sensitive, it can tolerate short dry periods once established. Corsican Mint can be invasive in some regions, so it is crucial to check local guidelines before planting it outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
