Potent mint with dark green, glossy leaves, red stems, and a sweet, citrusy,
mandarin scent and flavor. Delicious for hot and cold drinks.
Most mint varieties of the genus Mentha grow in the sun or in the shade. In the sun, the most compact growth and the most intense color, scent, and flavor are achieved. Each species goes through 2 growth stages: in spring, there is the growth spurt upwards before flowering. After that, horizontally (hard) growing runners develop, which grow into new plants in a different location. Bees and butterflies love mint flowers.
