Mentha × piperita
The slightly furry deep green leaves of this mint have a wonderful citrus-mint aroma. This unusual mint combination adds a tangy grapefruit flavor to salads and beverages. Chop the leaves and add them to salads or iced tea. Freeze in ice cubes and add to water for a cooling refreshing summer thirst quencher. Plant is an attractive addition to the garden and also does well in containers. Attractive tall spikes of purple flowers attract bees and beneficial insects and also make nice cut flowers.
