Mint leaves?
My fiance and I decided on a color scheme for our wedding. We want to be like Andes Mints. A lot of dark brown and a little mint. For our centerpieces, we would like to make a vase Brown-ish, white-flowered (or calla lilies or roses only white) and we would like to mint leaves with the flowers. Where would I get mint leaves like that, that would be sufficiently long to be put in a vase? And how long would it take to grow them to be like that?
The problem is that mint grows like a vine. You may remove leaves which rested in the water in the vase so that you do not rot and pond scum in the water. That said, I have a small number of varieties of mint I have grown for several years would be long enough to do with but they are scraggly and unattractive, because the mint follows the sun and do not grow straight. But if you put the main flower in the center of the vase and do not mind a jungle of mint leaves coming out of the mud around them, it looks like those that I put in 2-3 years ago would be long enough to encircle a rose and the ones I put in 4-5 years earlier, could be comprehensive enough to support greater calla lilies.
