Mint

Thai mint is a highly aromatic perennial that will bring a touch of the exotic to your garden and kitchen. Although it originates from the warmer regions of Asia, it thrives excellently here in both sun and partial shade, ideally in ordinary loamy and humus-rich soil with moderate moisture. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into the garden bed. Even complete beginners can easily handle its care; it is frost-resistant down to minus twenty-eight degrees and avoids common diseases, just keep an eye out occasionally for pests like the mint leaf beetle. It is a very aromatic mint with small, pointed, glossy, and curly leaves from which dark reddish stems grow. It reaches a height of around half a meter and from July to September forms tiny pink to purple flowers. These act as a huge magnet for pollinators. In the garden, it perfectly complements herb beds, where it is planted at a spacing of roughly forty centimeters. Both the flowers and dark green leaves are edible and are widely used in exotic cuisine recipes or refreshing drinks. Thai mint is also excellent for cutting; the fresh, fragrant stems will liven up summer bouquets, and after drying, you can use it in dried arrangements.
