a.k.a. wooly mint latin name: mentha suaveolens zone: 4 type: perennial light: full sun or partial shade height: 18” description: Soft, grey-green round leaves have a apple-menthol fragrance. Great mint for teas because of its refreshing apple taste. harvest: Pick leaves before the plant flowers, or after it has been cut back and plant has started to regrow. Leaves can then be used fresh or dry and use later in herbal teas. Keep pinching off flower heads to keep new foliage coming to harvest. culinary notes: Leaves – fresh or dried are used to make a delightful tea. Mint teas are very soothing and have medicinal value. tip: Mints are notorious for spreading and becoming very invasive. To prevent that from happening – plant mint in a large black nursery pot. Cut out the bottom of the pot and bury the pot into the ground except for the top 1-2”. |
