Swiss mint rooted cuttings for other mint cuttings

[gillian62]

I have a number of 'swiss mint' Mentha spicata cuttings available. Also some peppermint cuttings rooted (but expect everyone has those).

I am looking for cuttings from other mints (particularly chocolate) or other unusual herbs please.

I don't want to hijack gillians thread but it seemed silly starting another almost identical one.
But if anyone else has any chocolate mint cuttings, unusual mints or any other varieties of mint cuttings (spearmint, peppermint etc) I would be grateful to do a swap (let me know what you fancy ) or I'll send a S.A.E.
(I'm not asking gillian62 because she will need them for her own choc mint swapsies.)
I really fancy having a go at them this year in containers.
Thanks in advance

Won't have loads of different mints in your garden cause them to cross + therefore loose their characteristics? (Only asking as I'd love to swap, but am all out of mints [they died]).

Hi
I wasn't wanting loads just a couple or few to try. I will be growing them set apart in containers only!.
I thought cross polination (from bits I have read online) can happen but is not a problem plus you can pinch out to stop. I may be wrong I am a newbie to herbs! should I just start with one kind then do you think?.

Id like to know the answer to this too as I was hoping to introduce the kids at school to different varieteies of mints!
