Enjoy the refreshing fragrance of Orange Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its bright citrus aroma, flavorful edible foliage, and beautiful lilac-pink flowers. Mentha × piperita f. citrata, commonly known as Orange Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that combines classic mint freshness with a delightful orange citrus scent. It is perfect for herb gardens, tea gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. Its aromatic leaves are ideal for herbal teas, infused water, cocktails, fruit salads, desserts, jellies, sauces, and fresh garnishes. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Orange Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the fragrant foliage regularly to encourage lush new growth throughout the growing season. During summer, spikes of attractive lilac-pink flowers rise above the foliage, adding ornamental beauty while providing an excellent nectar source for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, container growing or planting in confined garden spaces is recommended.
