Our plants: Menta Spicata and Primerose

For our experiment we are going to take care of two different plants: Green Mint and Primerose, so we had to search for information about them.

Menta Spicata:

First of all, we are going to explain green mint, who is knowing by the name of menta spicata - it's the botanic name - too. It is a plant inside the mentha's gender, that is an aromatic plant thankful to it intense and cool smell and it is so used in gastronomy and perfumery.

Green Mint is a parenne plant, it means that live more than 2 years, so in good conditions, it grows up easily to 1 meter high thanks to its extensive and invasive roots. Its leaves give the name to the plant for its form (spica means 'spear' in Latin). The leaves have a big foliar mass so, especially in summer, they need to be watered with a higher frequency.
