Herb
Upright Pennyroyal
B tier
Upright pennyroyal forms grow more vertically than creeping mats, easier to harvest as small sprigs for traditional uses. Chemistry remains strongly pulegone-rich; culinary restraint still applies. Gardeners choose upright types for herb-bed visibility rather than path carpets. Flavour/aroma is not milder just because the plant stands tall—nose-test before any cooking idea.
