Mentha × Verticillata Var. Obtusata

Mentha × verticillata var. obtusata is a unique variant of the water mint plant known for its compact growth and aromatic leaves. This variety thrives in moist environments, often found near streams and wetlands across temperate regions. Its leaves are broader and more rounded than those of typical mint species, giving it a distinctive appearance. The plant is valued not only for its pleasant scent but also for its potential medicinal uses. Despite its small size, it plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems and biodiversity.
