Mint - Apple

(Perennial)

Mint – Apple 
A vigorous, aromatic perennial with a refreshing apple scent. Apple Mint produces grey-green, oval, hairy leaves and spikes of delicate pink or white flowers in summer. Perfect for mint sauces, jellies, teas, cocktails, and even adding a fresh twist to simmering potatoes. A wonderfully fragrant herb that brings both flavour and charm to your garden.

Planting
• Where: Beds or containers in well-drained soil, in a bright, sunny position.

Care
• Watering: Keep well watered, as mint thrives in slightly damp conditions.
• Containment: Highly spreading and invasive, so best grown in pots or with root barriers to prevent it taking over your garden.

Height & Spread
• Size: 40 – 100cm × 60 – 90cm.

Harvesting
• Leaves: Pick gently as needed, ideally in the morning when essential oils are at their peak.
• Tip: Frequent harvesting encourages bushier growth and more aromatic leaves.

Top Tips
• Culinary Uses: Ideal for mint sauces, jellies, teas, cocktails, and flavouring vegetables.
• Aroma: Crush leaves lightly to release the apple-scented fragrance.
• Maintenance: Trim regularly to control spreading and keep plants healthy.
