Grow the classic herb behind one of the world's most refreshing beverages with Mint Julep Spearmint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its bright green aromatic foliage, crisp sweet flavor, and exceptional culinary versatility. Mentha spicata, commonly known as Spearmint, is a hardy perennial herb perfect for mint juleps, mojitos, teas, lemonades, desserts, salads, sauces, and savory dishes. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent addition to herb gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Mentha spicata thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Its fragrant 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 providing valuable nectar for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Mint Julep Spearmint in containers is recommended to help manage its growth.
