Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
Available from APPROXIMATELY late April / early MayGarden Mint has aromatic bright green foliage and small purplish flowers.
Garden mint is a popular choice, especially if you want to use it for cooking as it is fast growing (but don't allow it to dry out during the Summer).
Use it to make mint sauce, the traditional accompaniment for lamb, or to flavour herb jellies. A sprig of mint adds extra flavour to new potatoes or fresh garden peas. Leaves can be infused to make tea, or can be crushed and added to iced drinks. Mint is also a vital ingredient of the mojito.
Pliny wrote that students should wear wreaths of mint to exhilarate the mind. Certainly, no herb garden should be without a regular supply of mint, one of the most versatile of herbs.
