Notes

Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) is an herb for low maintenance beds, food gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Its leaves are fragrant, and bees visit the summer flowers. The plant spreads wide, so give it room or edge the bed.

Pairs well with Broccoli, Tomato, and Candy carrot.
