Botany
Italian term or phrase: specie rustiche
Pianta erbacea originaria dell’Europa Mediterranea, la menta è diffusa dalla pianura fino ai 1.200 metri.
Fra le oltre 25 specie, tutte rustiche e rizomatose, la più comune è la “mentha spicata”, o mentastro verde o menta da giardino, cioè quella che più facilmente troviamo in commercio.

agree  Sarah Thompson: yes, or perhaps just "hardy species"

neutral  philgoddard: This needs an Italian reference - we know that hardy exists in English, and "cold" is unnecessary. Isn't hardy "resistente al gelo"?
