Aura Mint

Description

Cultivate an aura of refined freshness in your garden with Mentha × piperita ‘Aura’, a beautifully delicate white peppermint that stands out both for its flavour and its appearance. This elegant variety offers the crisp, clean taste of classic peppermint, with an added lightness in scent and form that makes it truly distinctive.

‘Aura’ is notable for its pale green to silvery-white foliage, which gives it a striking ornamental quality. The soft, almost frosted look of the leaves contrasts beautifully with darker herbs, lending a sense of cool brightness to garden beds, borders, or container displays.

Its flavour is bracing and pure, making it an excellent choice for infusions, desserts, mint sauces, and cooling summer drinks. A vigorous but manageable grower, ‘Aura’ thrives in well-drained soil with good airflow and regular moisture. It also responds well to pruning, encouraging dense, aromatic growth.

A perfect choice for those who value both beauty and utility, ‘Aura’ adds elegance, clarity, and heritage to any herb collection—offering a refreshing take on traditional peppermint.
