Juicy pear
Cotton candy
Italian spice
Apple mint
Silver mint
ky colonel
Candy lime
Margarita
Oregano-thyme mint
Ginger
Chocolate
Mountain
Corsican
Grapefruit
Citrus kitchen
Varigated Pineapple
Mulberry
Iced hazelnut
Esau de colone
Lavender
I love my mint plants because they smell good most of the year, and in the summer I let a few flower. The flowering mints are quite pretty. One variety I have is grown just for its flowers (pink candy pops).
I have a few varities that are very strong (lavender, eau de colone). They aren't good to eat, but they are great for adding to a bath.
My favorite to eat are silver mint (tea), oregano-thyme (good on most everything), Italian spice (on tomatoes), and iced hazelnut (soooo good on fresh cherries).
My favorites for their scent are iced hazelnut, juicy pear, chocolate, ginger, Corsican, and grapefruit.
I grow my mint in 5 gal pots on my back deck.
