Chelan Mint

Description

Elevate your herb garden with the invigorating charm of Chelan Mint, a striking peppermint cultivar named after the mint-rich valleys of Chelan County, Washington State. This variety, prized for its clean, cooling flavour and bold menthol scent, brings a touch of North American herbal heritage to your garden or kitchen.

A true peppermint (Mentha × piperita ‘Chelan’), it features glossy, dark green leaves with finely toothed edges and purple-tinged stems—classic peppermint traits, but with an extra punch of flavour. Perfect for teas, desserts, herbal syrups, and cocktails, Chelan Mint adds a refreshing clarity wherever it’s used.

Fast-growing and vigorous, Chelan Mint thrives in pots or garden beds but is best contained if grown in open soil—its eager rhizomes can quickly take over. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Whether you’re crafting a soothing herbal infusion or infusing a sorbet with its unmistakable coolness, Chelan Mint is a robust, aromatic essential.
