Mint 'Banana Mint'

Mint 'Banana Mint' is a delightful, less common mint variety known for its intriguing fruity aroma, reminiscent of ripe bananas, layered over a classic minty freshness. It forms a spreading mat of bright green, slightly hairy leaves, typically reaching 30-60cm in height with a potentially wide spread if not contained. Small, light pink to lilac flowers appear in summer, attracting pollinators. Like all mints, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Hardy to H7, it's best grown in containers or with a root barrier to prevent unchecked spreading. Excellent for fruit salads, desserts, and refreshing beverages.
