Grow a beautiful and fragrant herb with Variegated Peppermint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its striking cream-and-green variegated foliage, refreshing peppermint aroma, and outstanding culinary versatility. Mentha × piperita 'Variegata', commonly known as Variegated Peppermint, is a hardy perennial herb that combines ornamental beauty with delicious flavor. Its aromatic leaves are perfect for herbal teas, desserts, candies, infused water, cocktails, fruit dishes, sauces, and fresh garnishes. Its colorful foliage also makes it an attractive addition to herb gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Variegated Peppermint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, consistently moist, well-draining soil. Harvest the fragrant leaves regularly to encourage lush new growth throughout the season. During summer, spikes of pale lavender to soft pink flowers bloom above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Variegated Peppermint in containers or confined garden spaces is recommended to help manage its growth.
