Any mint that flowers will bring butterflies. They like it as much as we do. The only problem is when your mint flowers it is not making great leaves for you to use. So you may need two pots of mint, one for you and one for the butterflies. And, we do mean pots. Mint is very invasive and should always be confined. Mints like sun and lots of water. They are hardy to zone 5 and will die back to the ground in winter. Cut Curly Mint to the ground in late fall and it will be fresh and crisp in spring. Spearmints are best used fresh for cooking.

Curly Mint is one of the six plants chosen to be in our
Butterfly Herb Garden Six Pack.
Curly Mint makes a great swizzle stick. 
Add it to our Zone 5 or Zone 9 Tea Herb Garden for some extra fun!
