Grannies Gloucester Mint

Description

An old favourite with a name full of charm, Mentha spicata ‘Grannie’s Gloucester’ is a bushy, vigorous variety of spearmint that earns its place in every serious kitchen garden.

With its densely branched growth habit and compact, upright form, this mint offers more than good looks—it’s a culinary powerhouse. The leaves are packed with clean, sweet spearmint flavour, making them ideal for everything from mint sauces and jellies to salads, tabbouleh, and cool summer drinks.

Unlike some leggier mints, ‘Grannie’s Gloucester’ forms a full, shapely clump, producing a generous yield of foliage without running wild—perfect for pots, raised beds, or controlled garden borders.

Whether you’re after garden structure, rich flavour, or heritage appeal, this is a mint that delivers on all fronts.
