The only native species of mint to the U.S. is Wild Mint (Mentha arvensis), in the Mint Family (Lamiaceae). The mint family is relatively easily distinguished by opposite leaves that alternate directions up the stem. These leaves are quite fragrant and can be used in teas and desserts.
The flowers appear at the apex of the stems (where the leaves connect to the stems). They aren't very large.For more information about wild mint, click here.
