We started from two seedlings bought in a garden centre, one is in an
exposed bed that is SW facing, the other in a raised bed in a courtyard.
Both have done equally well despite the "extreme" temperatures we have
here on the edge of the Beaujolais at 600m.

It has spread but nowhere near as much as the mint which I have seen it
likened to. I don't know what variety it is but the flavour is mild.
