Description

A strong and fresh tasting mint, ideal for cooking with your potatoes, eating raw in salads and good in mint tea. It is the ideal, multi-purpose variety.

Care Tips

Cut back by one-third to encourage good, bushy growth and cut right to the ground if it runs up to flower. Water well and it will quickly grow again for another harvest.
