Grow a unique and refreshing herb with Asian Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its aromatic green foliage, crisp mint fragrance, and versatile culinary uses. Mentha asiatica, commonly known as Asian Mint, is a hardy perennial herb valued for herbal teas, fresh beverages, salads, soups, stir-fries, and a variety of Asian-inspired dishes. Its fragrant foliage and nectar-rich flowers also make it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.
Asian Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the aromatic leaves throughout the growing season for fresh or dried use. During summer, spikes of pale lavender to light purple flowers may appear, providing ornamental beauty while supplying nectar for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Asian Mint in containers or contained garden spaces is recommended to help manage its growth.
You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Asian Mint starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
