Water Mint Live Plant | Mentha aquatica | Aquatic Aromatic Herb Starter Plant for Ponds, Tea & Pollinator Gardens

Grow a beautiful moisture-loving herb with Water Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its refreshing mint fragrance, lush green foliage, and attractive lavender flower clusters. Mentha aquatica, commonly known as Water Mint, is a hardy perennial native to wetlands, pond edges, and stream banks. It thrives in consistently moist soil and is an excellent choice for water gardens, rain gardens, pollinator habitats, and herb gardens. Its aromatic leaves can be harvested for herbal teas, garnishes, and other culinary uses. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Mentha aquatica thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist or wet soil. It can even be grown along the edges of ponds and water features. During summer, rounded clusters of soft lavender to pinkish-purple flowers bloom above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, growing Water Mint in containers or contained planting areas is recommended when space is limited.

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