Calling all Herb experts!

After spending time in Morocco and living off mint tea I am after the mint that was used which is lighter in colour and sweeter than the english garden mint, have looked in all garden centers not only for plants but packet seeds to no avail

Does anyone know where I could get any from and please don't reply Morocco as it's a long way to go for a bit of greenery or a cuppa! Could it even be under a specific name?

I wasn't able to purchase just one pkt on the site but a stroke of "meant to be" happened yesterday when at Waddesdon Mannor (Bucks) plant centre and look what Ma Man spotted :D so of course just had to bring home with us

Good times

i also have that mint, well i say i have that plant, its not just 1 i have 4
i recognise the plant label do you live in surrey?

 

4 Plants eh, now you're just showing off E-S lol and wished I did live in Surrey, would be popping in for tea! I live in Bucks for my sins!


Didn't know where best to ask this question and think it is a herb but Does anyone know about Cat Mint? I have sown some of those seeds too for my 2 cats but again with not knowing much about it is there any tips on how to get the best results?

 

My wife like cats and 'befriended' a couple of locals. One completely ignored our catmint but the other one was completely besotted with it, and despite planting it at high level in an old rainwater hopper it would find a way to get up there and roll obsessively in it until it tumbled down.

 

It has been smoked as a legal high, not tried it yet, but there is still time

Going completely off topic, as I tend to do:DOH:

Did you know that it is illegal to posess opium poppies ? All those lovely purple flowers that spring up every year could land you in trouble with the old bill.

Don't smoke the ones with the red petals unless you like migraine headaches & being physically sick.

 

Ahh The Ziggmyster Ito your humour it cracks me up! I really am growing this mint for my 2 boys and had/have no idea about using it for anything else. although I could just see them rolling a joint with a bit of Bob Marley playing in the background. My younger one loves it and completely demolished a plant belonging to someone I used to share a house with some yrs ago.
As for poppies I did know it's illegal to posses them, LMAO when I visited my Aunts a few yrs ago and she had 2 big clumps of them growing happily in her front garden on a busy road in Leighton Buzzard :D bless her she had no idea about the law though when I pointed it out she laughed and said she loved the colours! just a little confused by you mentioning them

 

Better than Bob Hope for them I suppose.

 

Nice one:D Sorry, its just the way my mind wanders from one thing to another.

My young labourer used to call me the Ziggmyster too
