A beautiful mint variety: 50-100 cm tall with silvery-woolly, elongated leaves and lilac-pink flowers in terminal clusters. Very hardy and of course suitable for growing in pots. A mint for all known applications: dishes and tea. The mouthfeel of the soft leaves is a sensation!
Most mint species 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 develop. Each species goes through 2 growth stages: in spring, there is an upward growth spurt before flowering. After that, horizontal (hard) growing runners emerge, which develop into new plants in a different location. Bees and butterflies love mint flowers.
