Pineapple Mint

You will receive a live Pineapple Mint plant, also known as Variegated Apple Mint (Mentha suaveolens 'Variegata'), rooted in a 2.5-inch pot. A cultivated variety of apple mint, Pineapple Mint is known for its attractive cream-and-green variegated foliage and sweet fruity fragrance with hints of pineapple. This aromatic herb is a favorite for herb gardens, container plantings, sensory gardens, and culinary use. Its colorful leaves brighten garden spaces while providing a pleasant scent whenever brushed or harvested. Pineapple Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Like other mints, it is easy to grow and spreads readily through underground runners, making it an excellent choice for containers or areas where its growth can be managed. The foliage may be used fresh or dried for teas, garnishes, and herbal blends, while the small pink to lavender flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely, especially during hot summer weather. FREE E-BOOK & BOOKMARK - "Using and Growing Herbs" By Kara Vaneck.
