I can't find them anywhere, not even at the nurseries around here, and not on the online nurseries here. I bought one a few years ago at our old house (i couldn't dig it up for the move, the ground was still frozen) and it came up every year, but didn't bloom Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

The colors are all so vibrant and pretty!!! Dodge the other name for ajuga is Bugleweed. It can be very invasive - I had a small patch but pulled it out a few years ago. Many people have problems with it taking over there lawns. The flower is such a pretty color though!

I, too, put my apple mint and chocolate mint in pots 2 years ago. This year the apple mint is growing up and out of the hole in the bottom of the pot!!! It's ok though - I love the smells - I don't cook with them, but love to walk by and rub the leaves and take a sniff - very refreshing!

I like the smell of the chocolate one. No I dont cook with mint either. I also have a pretty catch of Rosemary, and it gives me a headache to smell it. Guess I will donate it to my sis in law who loves to cook...... PS that is only because her sisters have a restruant, and each trys to outcook the other..... No money in it. PS...

The only other one I grow besides the mints is some lemon balm - got that in a plant trade a few years ago. This year it is growing like gangbusters, but I really like the smell of that one too. The rest I just cannot grow and be near.

It is just called apple mint. I used to have pineapple sage - the leaves REALLY smelled like sweet pineapple when you rub them - unfortunately it's not perennial here, and hard to find and expensive when you do.
