Red Mint Live Plant | Mentha × gentilis | Red Stem Mint Fragrant Culinary Herb Starter Plant

Grow a beautiful and flavorful herb with Red Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its aromatic green foliage, attractive reddish stems, and refreshing mint flavor. Mentha × gentilis, commonly known as Red Mint, is a hardy perennial herb ideal for teas, cocktails, desserts, salads, sauces, and savory dishes. Its fragrant foliage and nectar-rich flowers also 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 × gentilis 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 light pink flowers bloom above the foliage, adding ornamental beauty while providing nectar for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Red Mint in containers is recommended to help manage its growth.
