National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Apple Mint is a wonderfully fragrant and vigorous perennial herb that brings a unique, fruity twist to the traditional mint family. Its distinctive, light green leaves are uniquely soft and slightly fuzzy to the touch, releasing a delightful scent reminiscent of crisp apples whenever brushed against or crushed. Milder and sweeter than peppermint, this versatile variety is highly prized by home chefs and mixologists for its clean flavor, making it a perfect addition to hot or iced teas, summer cocktails, fresh fruit salads, and culinary garnishes. Because it shares the enthusiastic, spreading nature of the mint family, it is best grown in patio containers, hanging baskets, or window boxes to keep its growth beautifully contained. Your Apple Mint arrives healthy, robustly rooted, and ready to thrive, providing a continuous, abundant harvest of refreshing, apple-infused foliage all season long.
