Planta de poleo (Mentha pulegium)
Hierba aromática con usos tradicionales
Nombres comunes: Poleo, poleo europeo, hierba de pudín, hierba de la pudín
Familia: Lamiaceae
Origen: Europa y norte de África
El poleo ( Mentha pulegium ) es una hierba aromática de porte bajo, conocida por su intenso aroma a menta y su larga historia de uso en la medicina tradicional y como repelente natural de insectos. Esta hierba perenne, emparentada con la menta, produce pequeñas flores moradas y tallos rastreros que se extienden fácilmente, lo que la convierte en una excelente cobertura vegetal para el jardín. Históricamente, el poleo se ha utilizado en infusiones y remedios populares para aliviar diversas dolencias, aunque su uso moderno debe ser cauteloso debido a sus propiedades tóxicas en grandes cantidades. También se planta comúnmente por su capacidad para repeler plagas como mosquitos y pulgas.
Características distintivas, usos y valor tradicional
Follaje: El poleo tiene hojas pequeñas, ovaladas y de color verde grisáceo que desprenden un intenso aroma a menta al triturarlas. Las hojas crecen densamente a lo largo de tallos rastreros que enraízan con facilidad, lo que permite que la planta se extienda rápidamente.
Flores: La planta produce racimos de pequeñas flores tubulares, de color púrpura o lavanda a finales del verano, que atraen polinizadores como abejas y mariposas.
Hábito de crecimiento: El poleo es una hierba rastrera de crecimiento bajo que generalmente alcanza de 6 a 12 pulgadas de altura, lo que la convierte en una buena opción para cubrir el suelo o rellenar los espacios entre los escalones.
Usos medicinales y tradicionales
El poleo se ha utilizado en la medicina tradicional durante siglos para tratar problemas digestivos, dolores de cabeza y resfriados, y como abortivo. Sin embargo, debido a sus propiedades potencialmente tóxicas, especialmente su aceite, se desaconseja su uso interno moderno sin supervisión médica. En remedios populares, el poleo también se ha utilizado para repeler insectos, y aún se cultiva comúnmente con este fin. Sus hojas se pueden secar y usar en bolsitas para ahuyentar pulgas, mosquitos y otras plagas de casas y jardines.

Let customers speak for us
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
