Flower Native Texas Lemon Mint (Horsemint) - 200 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds
Native Texas Lemon Mint, also called Horsemint, is a versatile aromatic wildflower celebrated for its intensely fragrant, lemon-scented foliage and delicate purple blooms. This non-GMO heirloom thrives in the challenging conditions where many ornamentals struggle—dry, poor, and rocky soils—making it an ideal choice for xeriscaping, native plant gardens, and low-input landscapes. The plant's exceptional appeal to pollinators is well-documented; bees and butterflies visit consistently throughout the growing season, supporting beneficial insect populations while delivering continuous floral interest. Beyond ornamental value, Lemon Mint has a long history of culinary and medicinal use. The leaves yield a refreshing, naturally lemon-flavored tea with mild digestive and calming properties, while the plant's volatile oils serve as a natural deterrent to certain garden pests and insects. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and self-seeding, Lemon Mint requires virtually no fertilizer, supplemental water, or pest management once established. It spreads gently through the garden, creating naturalized drifts that soften hardscapes and fill gaps in perennial borders. This 200-seed packet provides sufficient material to establish a substantial planting or integrate into mixed native beds. Ideal for gardeners seeking multi-purpose plants that combine ecological value, culinary utility, and minimal maintenance demands.
