watermint
Streamside aromatic plant
Watermint is a species of mint that grows in wet places—along streams, in marshes, and at pond edges.
It has a strong peppermint scent and purplish flowers.
Watermint is one of the parent plants of peppermint, a hybrid.
Like other mints, it spreads aggressively and has been used in herbal remedies and teas.
