Corsican Mint seeds
Pine tree was the only place I could find with cording Mint seeds available. It was easy to order and when I had a question about payment they responded quickly. All 10 of my seeds sprouted, but when I planted them out, only 2 survived. This is my first attempt with ground cover and we had an unexpected cold snap, so it probably has nothing to do with the product. The 2 survivors seem healthy.
