Mojito Mint Cutting (Mentha × villosa)
Grow the authentic mint traditionally associated with classic mojito cocktails. Mojito Mint offers a smooth, refreshing flavor with less of the sharp menthol bite found in peppermint, making it a favorite for beverages, herbal teas, culinary use, and herb gardens.
This vigorous perennial herb is easy to grow and thrives in containers, raised beds, and dedicated herb gardens. Its bright green leaves and refreshing aroma make it a versatile addition to any homestead, kitchen garden, or pollinator-friendly landscape.
