Mentha arvensis
Strawberry mint is an absolute must-have herb for anyone who loves fresh scents and is looking for reliable greenery for the garden. Naturally, these aromatic perennials grow in the damper regions of the temperate zone along watercourses and on light woodland edges. For this reason, they also thrive best in the garden in humus-rich and loamy soil that can retain stable moisture. They do best in full sun or light partial shade, where they completely survive even very harsh winters with temperatures dropping to minus twenty-eight degrees without any problems. From us, you will receive a strong and grown seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot in an herb or perennial bed. It is ideal to place the plants with a spacing of around forty centimeters so they have enough space for their vital growth.
Mints are well-known perennials and herbs, used in floristry as fragrant greenery. Strawberry mint is a perennial with a delicate strawberry and menthol scent, forming dense clumps of green leaves reaching a height of up to sixty centimeters. It is absolutely ideal for growing even for complete beginners, does not suffer from diseases, and does not need any complicated care. The only thing it is occasionally good to watch out for is a tiny pest, the mint leaf beetle. From July to the end of September, it blooms with tiny purple flowers, which act as a literal magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. If you like creating your own bouquets, you will certainly appreciate its stems for cutting. It will bring volume and an unmistakable fragrance to a vase and also serves well for drying for floristic purposes. Furthermore, you can safely use the green leaves in the kitchen, as the entire plant is edible and wonderfully livens up summer drinks.
