Water mint (Mentha aquatica) is a British native perennial that is an excellent plant for wildlife.  All the mint family are a valuable source of nectar for bees and butterflies and the foliage provides food for a variety of caterpillars.  Profuse tiny lilac flowers are produced from July to as late as October.  It is a vigorous grower so it is best to plant in baskets to keep under control and not recommended for very small ponds -for these Pennyroyal is a very good alternative
