Add beauty and fresh fragrance to your herb garden with Variegated Ginger Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its creamy white and green variegated foliage, refreshing mint aroma with subtle ginger notes, and outstanding culinary versatility. Mentha × gracilis 'Variegata', commonly known as Variegated Ginger Mint, is a hardy perennial herb that combines ornamental foliage with delicious flavor. Its aromatic leaves are perfect for herbal teas, infused water, cocktails, fruit salads, desserts, jellies, sauces, and fresh garnishes. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Variegated Ginger Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Its attractive cream-edged green leaves brighten herb gardens, patio containers, hanging baskets, and edible landscapes throughout the growing season. During summer, spikes of soft lavender to pale pink flowers rise above the foliage, adding ornamental beauty while providing an excellent nectar source for pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing in containers or confined garden areas is recommended.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Variegated Ginger Mint starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
