Strawberry Mint
Mentha spicata 'Strawberry'
The petite green leaves of this compact mint variety have a wonderful fruity scent and flavour and are delightful brewed into a hot or cold tea, or added to any recipe that calls for fresh mint! Its diminutive size makes it well suited for containers and hanging baskets, and its abundant edible flowers pull in pollinators of all stripes!
