Drought Tolerant Mint
I'd like to grow a type of mint in a corner of my garden which lies in the rain shadow of a wall. Does anybody know of a type of mint, that is not as water hungry as most?
Thanks for your help.

they're a sad,mildewy looking bunch when they get dehydrated. I've never found one that can do dry
In the sticks near Peterborough
Dear "Water butt", apparently you answered me, but I can't see it. Can you post again? Thanks.
See your posts now, Thank you. No, can't really do the water bucket version. I live on an estate and it's in the communal area, far away from any faucet and not deep either. Different choice of plant, apparently. I just read that "Lamium maculatium" (some form of deadnettle) doesn't mind neither shade nor dry - should be worth a try!
Thanks anyway.
Yes, but it isn't a mint. Mint is Mentha ...
