Scotch Mint Live Plant | Mentha × gracilis | Spearmint-Flavored Culinary Herb Starter Plant

Enjoy the refreshing flavor of Scotch Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its bright green aromatic foliage, mild spearmint flavor, and exceptional culinary versatility. Mentha × gracilis, commonly known as Scotch Mint or Ginger Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that is perfect for herb gardens, tea gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. Its fragrant leaves are ideal for herbal teas, infused water, cocktails, fruit salads, sauces, desserts, jellies, and savory recipes. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Scotch Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Regular harvesting encourages dense, vigorous growth and provides a continual supply of fresh aromatic leaves throughout the season. During summer, spikes of pale lavender to light pink flowers rise above the foliage, adding ornamental beauty while supporting pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, container growing or planting in confined garden spaces is recommended.
