Lemon Arvensis Mint

Description

Lemon Arvensis Mint offers a gentle burst of citrus that brings subtle sophistication to your garden and kitchen alike. A cultivar of Mentha arvensis, this mint is prized for its soft, lemony aroma that doesn’t overpower—making it an ideal choice for dishes where balance is key.

With delicate green leaves and a compact, spreading growth habit, Lemon Arvensis Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade, rewarding gardeners with lush foliage and a refreshingly clean scent.

Its nuanced flavour shines particularly well in salads, where it can be finely chopped and used in place of—or alongside—other herbs. Try it in a tabbouleh-style salad, where its citrus hints bring out the brightness of lemon juice, bulgur, parsley, and tomato without overwhelming the palate. It’s also lovely scattered through couscous, quinoa, or melon salads, adding fragrance and complexity with every bite.

The citrus undertone also lends itself beautifully to teas, lemonades, and cocktails, adding depth and freshness. Whether tucked among ornamental herbs or grown for culinary use, this subtle and versatile mint is a quiet star—inviting a touch of zest without stealing the spotlight.
