Pennyroyal Common

PERENNIAL. Pennyroyal, a member of the mint family, is a traditional culinary herb, folk remedy, and abortifacient. Do not ingest pennyroyal tea in large quantities. One of the smallest of the mints, it creeps around in moist places and sends up its pretty flowering tops to a height of only about a foot in the late summer.  Pennyroyal makes a bright tea that is well appreciated by many, but it should never be used during pregnancy.  Plant prefers moist soil.
