Genus

There are more than 2,000 named hybrids between various combinations of the roughly 20 species in the mint genus. Since the species interbreed so easily, new combinations will emerge in gardens multiple species and hybrids. This has led to a situation with a lot of conflicting information about names and which species are included.
