Spearmint 1 x Plant

Milder flavour than peppermint Ideal for containers or kitchen gardens Attracts bees and pollinators Perfect for sauces, salads, and summer drinks A favourite among gardeners and cooks alike, this popular mint variety has a milder taste than peppermint, making it a versatile herb for the kitchen. Its soft flavour pairs perfectly with lamb dishes, fresh salads, or even refreshing drinks like mojitos and herbal teas. With attractive, soft green leaves and fragrant spikes of pink, lilac, or white flowers, it’s a charming addition to pots, containers, or kitchen windowsills. The flowers are a magnet for bees and other beneficial insects, making it great for pollinator-friendly planting. This hardy perennial dies back in autumn and regrows each spring. Left unchecked in open soil, it can spread up to 1m across and reach 45–60cm tall, but it’s easily managed in containers where it thrives without taking over.
