Aromatic Herb with Traditional Uses
Common Names: Pennyroyal Plant, European Pennyroyal, Pudding Grass Plant, Run-by-the-Ground
Family: Lamiaceae
Origin: Europe and North Africa
Pennyroyal Plant (Mentha pulegium) is a low-growing, aromatic herb known for its strong minty fragrance and long history of use in traditional medicine and as a natural insect repellent. This perennial herb, related to mint, produces small, purple flowers and has creeping stems that spread easily, making it an excellent ground cover in the garden. Historically, Pennyroyal has been used in teas and folk remedies to alleviate a variety of ailments, although modern use should be approached with caution due to the plant's toxic properties in large quantities. It is also commonly planted for its ability to repel pests like mosquitoes and fleas.
Distinctive Features, Uses, and Traditional Value
Foliage: Pennyroyal has small, oval, gray-green leaves that emit a strong minty aroma when crushed. The leaves grow densely along creeping stems, which root easily, allowing the plant to spread quickly.
Flowers: The plant produces clusters of small, tubular, purple or lavender flowers in late summer, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Growth Habit: Pennyroyal is a low-growing, creeping herb that typically reaches 6-12 inches in height, making it a good choice for ground cover or filling in gaps between stepping stones.
Medicinal and Traditional Uses
Pennyroyal has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat digestive issues, headaches, and colds, and as an abortifacient. However, due to its potentially toxic properties, especially its oil, modern internal use is discouraged without medical supervision. In folk remedies, Pennyroyal has also been used to repel insects, and it is still commonly grown for this purpose. Its leaves can be dried and used in sachets to deter fleas, mosquitoes, and other pests from homes and gardens.

Great dirt and great communication
Started a new garden and it seems to be helping all of my new starter plantings
Product was great! Ordered some seeds as part of a gift along with a gardening apron. Was a quality item, arrived quickly and it was a big hit!
Super fast service and answered all my questions!
Great service each time I used them, 3 times now.
He delivered great organic topsoil the same day. Excellent subsurface for sod. Friendly and fast, very careful during delivery.
The mulch was great. No junk in it like the bagged stuff. AsS with all outdoor projects weather is a thing. They were understanding of delays and changes.. And when the day came for delivery, there was plenty of communication and showed up on time. Plus the price was right!
I am very happy with my soil purchase! Great company to do business with! I highly recommend!
It works well. I just wish it had some residual to it so I wouldn't have to spray every few weeks.
Good and high quality, best pants from a soil company ive ever bought.
If you want a quick turn around when ordering soil, this is your guy. If you want someone to dump soil where YOU want it, this is your guy. If you want someone to sell you good soil instead of sand and broken up pallets, this is your guy. It seems weird that a guy and his wife would be so excited about dirt, I know. But we were. It’s the beginning of a big transformation for our house. So we ordered this, I think on and Saturday and surprisingly he said he could deliver it on Monday! So Monday, we woke up and literally wished each other a happy dirt day. I went to work and sure enough, he showed up on time and dumped the dirt exactly where we were hoping. And when I got home I walked over and before I could get there, you could smell the organic material in the dirt. Our plants will love this. Excellent quality. Excellent transaction. Excellent service. Couldn’t be happier.
Very high quality fertilizer. Very pleased.
