Curly mint's unusual frilly leaves and pretty liliac flowers make it both useful and decorative in the herb garden.
Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
Available from APPROXIMATELY late April / early MayCurly Mint is a variety of spearmint with thick upright stalks and unusual tightly clustered crinkled leaves that look a little like parsley. Vigorous and highly aromatic, it can be used as a garnish, or dried and used in pot pourri, but this variety is particularly good for swizzle sticks in your mojitos. It can also be used in iced tea or dried to make herbal teas.
Very good for you as it's high in Vitamin B, C, B-complex, Iron and Magnesium.
As with all mint plants, we recommend growing this in pots to restrict it spreading.
Highly valued for many centuries, Mint is mentioned in all early medieval lists of plants. Geoffrey Chaucer refers to 'a little path of mintes full and fenill greene'. He might almost have been talking about Curly Mint, an attractive addition to the herb garden.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
