Detailed Information

Apple Mint (Mentha suaveolens) is native to **Southern and Western Europe**.

It has since been widely cultivated and naturalized in many other regions, including North America, Australia, and parts of Asia. So while you might find it growing in the wild in many places now, its origins lie in Europe.
