Hi Danny, I have (on your want list) Ginger mint Where are you drawing the line for mints? Catnip is a mint...and many herbs are in the mint family--basil, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, thyme, lavender, and ground ivy (creeping charlie-Glechoma hederacea). I can get you rooted cuttings or seedlings of most of these, I think. be sure you plant your mints in containers--I didn't and I'm in the process of eradicating chocolate mint from my garden...lol. :)

Lollistranger, It's alright to offer things for postage on Gardenweb, but you aren't supposed to ask for anything for postage costs. You may want to think of what you can offer and fill out your exchange page! Also, it might help if you told us more about what you are really wanting or what your goal is. Various types of mint are available in stores and even for free from the US NGRP, if you are doing a study or something. You are right about many types of mint not coming true from seed. Some popular types are actually just different cultivars of Mentha x piperita (aka peppermint) and won't sexually reproduce true-to-type. But, many other types are other species of Mentha and will come true from seed.

Lemon balm, which the plant does look like, has a lemony smell and taste - though some say it is more like lemon pledge than lemons! That is one of its most identifiable characteristics. My lemon balm (which comes up in mounds like this) is about at the same stage right now. FataMorgana

Wow! I would LOVE to have all these mints, how awesome would that be!!!?? Unfortunately I only have two, and I have no idea what the first is, We've just called it mint - so maybe it's peppermint. It has bumpy leaves. I also have some chocolate mint, that seems to be doing ok, but seeing as you're a mint guru of sorts (with so much experience with mint, maybe I can ask you something mint related? When I planted my chocolate mint, it was purply in color. Now, it SEEMS to be thriving, but when I take a closer look, it seems that only a few sprouts are purply in color. The other HUGE bunch that came up right next to it has very little to NO purple left in it.. not sure if its' in my head, but it seems to smell a little different to. Do you think some other mint grew there? or are there weeds that grow near mint to disguise themselves? Or maybe my soil isn't giving it what it needs to maintain its purply color?? Thanks for any help! Sorry I couldn't offer anything new to your mint collection! :)
