Description

Chocolate Mint is a hardy perennial that provides the herb garden with green leaves with a hint of burgundy with the addition of purple flowers throughout summer. Chocolate Mint is a wonderfully easy-to-grow garden herb that has a decadent chocolate-mint fragrance and minty flavor. Use Chocolate Mint for culinary uses such as mixed in with teas, breads, desserts or with fresh fruit such as strawberries. Chocolate Mint will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. Harvest leaves when needed, ensuring you remove no more than one-third of the plant at a time. This allows the Chocolate Mint to continue producing flavorful leaves throughout the growing season. Chocolate Mint adapts well to container gardening, making it a perfect choice for those with limited garden space. Plant in a well-draining pot with a nutrient-rich soil mix, and enjoy fresh chocolate-infused leaves right on your balcony or patio. Chocolate Mint does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
