Microfolia Mint

Description

Mentha microfolia is a distinctive, small-leaved mint known for its narrow foliage and neat, compact habit. The leaves are finely textured, almost thread-like in appearance, giving the plant a delicate, refined silhouette that’s ideal for collectors or gardeners seeking something unusual.

Its flavour is sharp, clean, and slightly spicy, with a brightness that makes it a great addition to fresh herb blends, light salads, or infused vinegars. While its exact taxonomic status remains a subject of discussion, its visual character and flavour intensity make it stand out among both culinary and ornamental mints.

An excellent choice for smaller gardens, containers, or simply to add variety and texture to a mint collection.

I’m somewaht unconvinced about the taxonomy of this one, but this is how it came to me – so for now…
