Species Details

Corn Mint is an occasional native perennial of damp areas at the margins of woods, ponds and arable fields, though it has recently declined in the latter habitat. It occurs sporadically across Derbyshire from Furness Vale (SK0084) and Stoneley Wood (SK3882) in the north, through Wessington Green (SK3757), to South Wood (SK3620) and Linton (SK2614) in the south.
