Enjoy the refreshing aroma and unique flavor of Double Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its fragrant green foliage, vigorous growth, and versatile culinary uses. Mentha × gracilis, commonly known as Double Mint or Ginger Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that combines the fresh taste of mint with subtle spicy notes. It's ideal for teas, cocktails, infused water, desserts, fruit salads, sauces, and savory dishes. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making it a wonderful addition to herb gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Mentha × gracilis thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Its aromatic leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season for fresh or dried use. During summer, spikes of pale lavender to soft pink flowers may appear, adding ornamental beauty while supporting pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Double Mint in containers is recommended to help manage its growth.
