Mint ‘Chocolate’

(Mentha piperita)

This is a really fun variety to grow for it’s mint-chocolate scented foliage.  It is also very good for making tea, and is a special addition to fresh fruits. You can also use the leaves in breakfast breads and desserts for a lovely surprise. It doesn’t grow as tall as most mint varieties and can take a small amount of foot traffic. Plant it in a pot on your deck where you can enjoy it’s lovely ‘Andes-mint’ scent.  Part shade to full sun.  Pollinator friendly perennial.
