5.10.08 # 17:51 # Plant Reviews # No CommentGinger mint is a lot more sensitive than my other mints. I find it needs considerable more protection from the heat and frost, and tends to take longer to recover. It is very slow growing and lies low to the ground.

I paid $30 for mine. It was about 50 cm tall and already had several large lemons on it. They didn’t last for long around young children.
I transplanted it to a larger pot …
