ISBN: 0881927066
The family of Mints consists of a surprising variety of plants that have been long valued for their herbal and ornamental uses, from rosemary, sage and thyme to lavender and peppermint. Most mints are easy to grow and highly resistant to pests and diseases, which adds to their garden value. This book, now in paperback, is the first to survey all members of that family. Written in a friendly and accessible style, the book features chapters on history and lore, modern uses, cultivation, distinctive characteristics and classification, a catalogue of species and cultivars in 67 genera and a glossary.
