Chocolate Mint | Mentha x piperita f.citrata 'Chocolate' | 10.5cm Pot
Mint with a hint of Chocolate
Relished by gardeners for its unique flavour and appearance, this variety of mint will develop oval-shaped, deep green leaves, which are adorned by a brown tinge, and purple stems. Aside from being beautiful, these leaves will release a minty, chocolate-like flavour and fragrance, and will prove an ideal means of adding an interesting edge to mojitos, chocolate, and ice cream. When planting, each plant merely needs to be distributed between 15 and 20 centimetres apart, and they will collectively prove an ideal choice for a smaller-sized garden in need of some interesting herbs or greenery.
