A Minty “Fruit Basket”

Have some fun in the garden with our selection of four fruit-flavored mints — Apple Mint, Orange Mint, Variegated Pineapple Mint, and Strawberry Mint. These delightful mints have a fruity aroma and taste. Place these babies in containers near your backdoor for easy access. Try making your own orange-flavored simple syrup and a strawberry-mint chocolate cake, top it with pineapple-infused whipped cream, and wash it down with strawberry-infused vodka. Go wild!

Easy-to-grow mints delight and charm kids, cooks, and sensory lovers. Their simple flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators, although leaving the flowers on the plants will lessen the desired aroma and taste of the leaves. Mints tend to spread rapidly and should be planted in confined areas. They work fantastic in pots and easily grow in sun to part shade outside. They also can be grown indoors in a sunny spot.

The collection contains four plants, one each:

• Apple Mint – hints of apple, long attractive leaves. Perennial.
• Orange Mint – brings the aroma and taste of orange zest. Perennial
• Pineapple Mint – attractive green and white leaves with refreshing pineapple scent and taste. Tender perennial.
• Strawberry Mint – compact grower with tiny leaves. Perennial
