Chocolate Mint (Mentha × piperita) – 12cm Pot

Bring fresh fragrance and a deliciously distinctive character to your garden with Chocolate Mint, a popular variety of mint with attractive green foliage. Its name comes from the subtle chocolate-mint aroma released when the leaves are gently brushed or crushed, making it a fun and sensory addition to herb gardens, containers and patio displays.

Supplied in a 12cm pot at approximately 20cm high, this edible plant is ready to settle into a sunny or partially shaded spot outdoors. Use the leaves to add a refreshing twist to drinks, desserts and summer recipes. Mint is naturally vigorous and easy to enjoy, so growing it in a container can help keep its spread under control. It also makes a thoughtful gift for keen cooks and gardeners.
