How many Mints are there???????????

19 years ago

Hi folks, I know this question has more then likely been asked before. Can anyone tell me or give me a web site on how many mints there are? I have been collecting a few. some are quite different from what you expect from mint. but just wondered how many this actually is. Thank you for any help.

Gosh, I don 't know if there is a complete list ... you might look and see if there is a mint society out there somewhere. There are hundreds of types.... Catmints alone there are like a dozen different cultivars. Then you have things like Monarda/bee balm that is a mint and I guess it depends on where you want to take it for your search.
