Applemint is a mint that can compete with quack grass!  It is a perennial and can survive cold winters down to (–25) degrees F. 

I have it planted around some of my apple trees as a ground cover.  It comes back each year and is forming a ground cover where I planted it. 

It attracts bees and other beneficial insects.   

Applemint can be used to make a tea. 

I got my Applemint from Oikos Tree Crops.  Here is the web link for Applemint from their website:
