Mojito Mint
Mentha X Villosa
USDA Hardiness Zone 4-11
Mojito mint has the classic mint flavor, not too sweet nor too bitter. As its name suggests, it is the perfect mint for a refreshing Mojito.
Chocolate Mint
Mentha X piperita
Chocolate mint as its name suggests conveys hints of chocolate under the traditional mint flavor. Reminiscent of an Andy's after dinner mint. Excellent garnish for a bowl of icecream.
Pineapple Mint
Mentha suaveolens ‘Variegata’
Pineapple mint has unusual variegated leaves making for a visually appealing addition to your mint garden. The hint of pineapple is subtle, but a good nose could identify it even without the telltale foliage.
