The Plant
Plant part: Aerial Part
Origin: France
Lemon mint, also known as lemon mint or bergamot mint, is a type of mint resulting from hybridization. This mint is the result of a cross between peppermint, characterized by its very strong odor, and water mint, which thrives in very damp soil.
A member of the Lamiaceae family, lemon mint is a hardy perennial with deep, creeping roots, aromatic yellow and green foliage and a sweet, lemony, slightly minty fragrance.
Its high ester content, particularly in linalyl acetate and linalool, makes it particularly useful in aromatherapy and phytotherapy.
