Mentha dahurica
Dahurian thyme (Mentha dahurica) is a perennial mint from Siberia, the Russian Far East, northeastern China and northern Japan, grown for its aromatic leaves. It needs cold winters and moist, well-drained soil, and is best kept in check because mints spread readily.
Mentha dahurica, or Dahurian thyme, is a mint species within the genus Mentha, native to Siberia, the Russian Far East, Japan, and northeastern China.
The epithet honors the Daur people of Inner Mongolia.
