**Water Mint Mentha Aquatica – 9cm Pot x 3 – Cut Back**

Mentha Aquatica is a native British pond plant with mauve pink flowers and reddish green foliage. It is suitable for creating rafts of dangling roots, which is excellent for improving water filtration. The pleasant foliage of Mentha Aquatica can be used in the same way as other mints, and the attractive flowers are a favourite with flying pond insects, butterflies and bees. This vigorous marginal plant will quickly establish itself in shallow water or in moist ground, and gives off a refreshing minty aroma when brushed.
