Hello, I was hoping some one could identify this variety of mint for me.
I have quite a few varieties of mint at home, and the closest one this mint resembles is my sweet mints.

Looks like spearmint, rub a leaf, between your fingers, and smell it, next place a small part of the rubbed leaf on your tongue, it will taste like the mint it is, my peppermint, took over all of my different mints, also looks like lemon balm as well but the rub test will work for any herb

Thank you for the reply! I’m propagating some of my mints in the hope to sell them. I have some spearmint with very soft leaves where the wrinkles aren’t as pronounced as the mint in the picture above.
