This is one of several stable curly mints in the collection. The leaves of this variety are very curled with curled serrations. They are comparatively non-petiolate. The flowers are pinkish lavender in spicate inflorescences. Flowers readily. The scent is weak spearmint.

Looks good in a glass of Pimm’s.
