Mentha spicata 'Crispa', commonly known as Curled Spearmint or Crispa Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that adds ornamental appeal and fresh flavor to herb gardens, tea gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. Its fragrant leaves are perfect for herbal teas, mojitos, infused water, fruit salads, desserts, sauces, jellies, and savory dishes. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.
Crispa Curled Spearmint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Regular harvesting encourages lush new growth and a continual supply of aromatic leaves throughout the growing season. During summer, spikes of pale lavender to light pink flowers rise above the textured foliage, adding ornamental beauty while providing an excellent nectar source for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Curled Spearmint in containers or confined garden spaces is recommended.
