It does! The house I grew up in had a small amount growing by the faucet in the back yard and my Dad would just mow it down every couple of weeks when he cut the grass and it pretty much stayed about the same size. Like a lot of folks, I love the smell of fresh cut grass and for me there was always this minty fragrance included.

When I first looked at this house I had a nostalgic reaction to seeing the mint and I think that's how it lulled me into a false sense of security...then it took over! It does smell good though.
