Where can I buy seeds of Corsican mint?

[Umnitsa]

I would like plant it between pavers but all I can find online are potted plants. Any thoughts?

Also, other suggestions about plants suitable for cracks in the paving (garden path and patio) would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Have you seen the advice on this thread? Best I can do for you. Sorry!

Actually, I think this is going to have to be a very long term project. Buy a plant or two and collect the seeds?

I've got Corsican mint between some of my slabs. It does spread, but not very fast. I've found the creeping thyme I have in the same patio goes a lot quicker but that might just be because it prefers that particular spot. It's probably cheaper and easier to get hold of as well.

I don't know how you'd collect the seeds from Corsican mint, the flowers are absolutely tiny. I might give it a try this year.

Spindoctor - thank you for the link. You are right, it does not look very promising...

Eaurouge - did you plant it between the slabs or the mint was there already? Will try creeping thyme as well, thank you for the tip!

I planted it there. I split the plant into three when I bought it and one clump snuffed it. The other two are doing OK now, it's been a couple of years since I planted it and they took a while to settle in.

My DM used creeping pennyroyal in between the slabs on her patio, I think that grows pretty fast. Knowing the kind of thing my mum grows it's probably fast-growing to the point of being invasive.

I used creeping thyme at my last house. I grew it from seed in a seed tray then transplanted the seedlings into the patio cracks. It was slow to establish but got faster in its second year - until my Dad came round and squirted it with Roundup thinking it was a weed

Oh Rhubarbgarden, how disappointing after all this effort!! I am a bit daunted by the thought of growing something in a seed tray... but may give it a try.

Eaurouge - I'll take the inspiration from you and just buy and split a few pots. Hope they are low maintenance and will take on despite my haphazard gardening technique...
