Mentha arvensis 'Banana', commonly known as Banana Mint, is a hardy perennial herb perfect for tea gardens, herb gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. Its aromatic leaves are excellent for herbal teas, fruit salads, smoothies, desserts, cocktails, infused water, and fresh garnishes.

Banana Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the fragrant foliage regularly to encourage lush new growth throughout the season.
