Orange Mint is a fragrant, fast-growing herb valued for its refreshing mint flavour with subtle citrus notes. This cultivar of Mentha combines classic mint aroma with a light orange scent, making it a unique addition to both culinary and ornamental plantings. This herbaceous perennial forms spreading clumps of soft green leaves on upright stems. The foliage releases a fresh minty-citrus fragrance when touched and can be harvested throughout the growing season for teas, cocktails, desserts, and garnishes. In summer, it may produce small, pale pink to lavender flowers that attract pollinators. Orange Mint is well-suited for herb gardens, containers, and patio planters. Due to its spreading habit, it is best grown in pots or contained areas to prevent it from becoming invasive.
