    Thanks but I don't think so , no mention of scent from what I have read about the cape fusia , my plant has a very powerful scent , the fusia also seems to be tender in Ireland , my plant outlived the last winter

    You could be right , it is herbacious but doesn't have the spreading habit of a mint
