Strawberry Mint (Mentha spicata ‘Strawberry’) is a delightful perennial herb prized for its unique blend of sweet strawberry fragrance and refreshing mint flavour. This aromatic va riety produces lush green foliage that releases a pleasant berry-like scent when brushed or harvested, making it a favourite for herb gardens, patio containers, sensory gardens, and edible landscapes. The flavorful leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season and used fresh or dried in teas, desserts, fruit salads, infused water, cocktails, and other culinary creations. Its sweet fragrance adds an extra dimension to traditional mint uses, making it especially popular among home gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. During summer, spikes of small lavender-pink flowers may appear, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Strawberry Mint forms a dense, vigorous clump of attractive foliage and is easy to grow in a wide range of garden settings. Like most mint varieties, it spreads readily when planted in the ground, making containers an excellent option for managing growth while keeping fresh leaves easily accessible. The fragrant foliage provides both ornamental beauty and practical culinary value throughout the season. In Alberta, Strawberry Mint is a hardy perennial that returns reliably each year, providing abundant harvests and fragrant foliage from spring through fall. Show more
