Grow a beautiful and aromatic herb with Horse Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its elongated silver-green foliage, refreshing mint fragrance, and vigorous growth. Mentha longifolia, also known as Horse Mint or Wild Mint, is a hardy perennial herb valued for its ornamental beauty, aromatic leaves, and ability to attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Mentha longifolia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Its fragrant leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season for teas, herbal infusions, potpourri, and culinary applications. In summer, tall spikes of pale lavender to lilac flowers bloom above the foliage, providing a valuable nectar source for pollinators. Because of its vigorous spreading habit, growing Horse Mint in containers is recommended to help manage its growth.
