Could someone tell me what this is? It is growing in gravel along w/a number of other mint species such as Perilla frutescens and Clinopodium vulgare. It is about 4-5 inches high and has tiny leaves and flowers....leaves are about an inch long and though it has almost finished flowering for the season it is clear that the flowers were lavender in colour. It has a stronger mint smell than any mint I have ever met! Was thinking of using it to deter deer BUT not if it's as invasive as the Perilla ! Pic taken in Appalachians, VA. Thanks for any help!
Thank-you! That's it! I think it is the Hedeoma pulegioides. Boy, does it spread quickly! Almost overnight! Well, if it keeps the deer from munching....I will help it to spread far and wide :)!
