notes
The leaves of Lemon mint, rather unsurprisingly, given the name, combine the scent of fresh lemon and mint, so are ideal for adding to cold summer drinks or for use in Greek cooking, jams and jellies. Leaves can also be used for pot pourri. Mint has a habit of becoming a little invasive so, if you prefer to avoid this, plant it in a container on a sunny terrace, where you can enjoy its aroma and pick leaves easily for the kitchen.
