Help with Mint ID?

20 years ago

I apologize if this is not a native plant, but it's growing in my friends' garden in the U.S...

My wife would like to plant some as ground cover around our trees (to keep out the poison ivy!), and I wanted to make sure of the species, that it's not invasive, etc.

I believe it to be a mint on the grounds of its square stem and opposite, hairy leaves. It emits a faint, non-minty fragrance when crushed.

If anyone knows the species, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Cagle
