Description

Mint (Mentha spp.) is an iconic, highly aromatic heirloom perennial cherished worldwide for its refreshing flavor, vigorous growth, and versatile culinary uses. Producing lush, spreading plants that reach 12 to 24 inches in height, it features vibrant green, serrated leaves packed with essential menthol oils. Fast-growing and remarkably hardy, mint yields abundant harvests of fresh foliage from late spring until the first winter freeze. An indispensable garden staple, it is widely used for fresh herbal teas, cocktails (such as mojitos and mint juleps), culinary dishes, desserts, home remedies, and natural pollinator gardens.
