Forming a spreading mat of small leaves, it is ideal for planting along pathways, between pavers, around garden beds or in containers where its distinctive fragrance is released when brushed or walked upon. During the warmer months, plants produce attractive clusters of lilac to mauve flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA member of the mint family, Pennyroyal has long been grown for its strongly scented essential oils. Traditionally, it has been planted around homes, animal shelters and gardens to help deter ants, mosquitoes, fleas and moths. Its dense growth habit also makes it useful as a living groundcover in suitable climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePennyroyal prefers moist, fertile soil and performs best in partial shade, although it will tolerate full sun where adequate moisture is available. Like many mints, it spreads readily and may be best grown in containers or confined areas if unrestricted growth is not desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pennyroyal contains potent essential oils and is grown primarily as an ornamental, companion and aromatic herb.
