Mint Variegated Pineapple

Pineapple Mint is a variegated version of Apple Mint and has deep green leaves edged in white with a pineapple scent and flavor.  It is a vigorous, spreading plant that can be used as a groundcover and also does well in containers or hanging baskets.  It is important to keep any green stems that appear cut off so the plant doesn’t revert to the green leaves and scent of Apple Mint.  The attractive ruffled leaves are topped with spikes of pink or white flowers that attract pollinators. Use the leaves in teas, salads and fruit dishes.  The sweet and fruity taste is also a unique addition to cakes and cookies.  Hardy to Zones 6-9.
