Horticultural Description

This mint has slightly fuzzy variegated leaves with a strong pineapple scent. In the summer it blooms light pink/ white flowers. The green and white varigation is very showy and makes it a great choice as an ornamental, edible, fragrant herb in the garden.

🌿 Jen’s Bench Notes:

“In our Lake Erie greenhouses, this cultivar produces its most vibrant foliage when given consistent morning light and steady warmth. When your order arrives, allow it to settle for 24 hours in indirect light before potting up into fresh, airy potting mix.”

— Jen Webber, Lead Horticulturist
