what type of mint is this??

Hi all

Newbie here. Can someone help me identify what kind of mint this is, I bought it from the market and am not sure.

Ive looked online and it looks to be eau dua cologne mint or lime mint or may be something else completely

Please can someone help?

Thanks

 

Hi al.lutonee and welcome to GC Mint is a tricky one to identify from a photo. Only you can rub the leaves and decide what they smell of! It doesn't look much like the eau-de-cologne mint that I used to grow, that had more of a purplish tint to the leaves. Peppermint is bright green, quite rough leaves. Apple mint is woolly, Ginger mint is yellow-variegated, so you can rule those out You could try sending a sample to one of the expert herb nurseries in the UK, or to the RHS, and ask them for a verdict?
