Curly Regarica Mint

Description

Regarica Mint is a distinctive curly spearmint cultivar, noted for its densely ruffled, vivid green foliage and bright, aromatic flavour. A member of the Mentha spicata var. crispa group, it offers the familiar sweetness of spearmint with an extra touch of freshness, making it ideal for herbal teas, culinary use, garnishing, and ornamental planting.

The origins of ‘Regarica’ are uncertain and possibly spurious—the name does not appear in formal botanical registries and may be a nursery-invented or regionally adopted name, possibly used to distinguish a particularly vigorous or attractive strain of curly mint. Despite its murky provenance, ‘Regarica’ has become a favourite among gardeners and cooks for its reliable growth and striking appearance.

With its compact habit and highly textural leaves, Regarica is especially suited to sensory gardens, containers, and kitchen plots, where its scent and shape can be enjoyed up close. A mint of uncertain origin but undeniable charm.
