Grow an extraordinary herb with Currant Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its distinctive blackcurrant-scented foliage, refreshing mint flavor, and beautiful lavender-blue flower spikes. This unique Mentha variety combines ornamental beauty with culinary versatility, making it an excellent addition to herb gardens, tea gardens, raised beds, patio containers, and pollinator landscapes. Its fragrant leaves are perfect for herbal teas, fruit salads, desserts, infused water, cocktails, jellies, and fresh garnishes. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Currant Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the aromatic leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth throughout the season. During summer, attractive lavender-blue flower spikes rise above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Currant Mint in containers or contained garden spaces is recommended to help control its spread.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Currant Mint starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
