Spanish Mint Live Plant | Mentha spicata | Spearmint Culinary Herb Starter Plant for Tea & Cooking

Grow a refreshing and versatile herb with Spanish Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its sweet spearmint aroma, vibrant green foliage, and outstanding culinary versatility. Mentha spicata, commonly known as Spanish Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that is perfect for herbal teas, mojitos, infused water, desserts, fruit salads, sauces, and savory recipes. Its fragrant foliage and nectar-rich flowers make it an excellent addition to herb gardens, pollinator gardens, and patio containers. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Spanish Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the aromatic leaves throughout the growing season for fresh or dried use. During summer, spikes of pale pink to lavender flowers may appear, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Spanish Mint in containers is recommended to help manage its growth.
