Spanish Mint

Description

Mentha spicata ‘Spanish’ is a sun-loving, aromatic spearmint variety traditionally grown across the Iberian Peninsula, especially in southern Spain where it plays a key role in regional cooking and herbal remedies. With bright green, slightly glossy leaves and a vibrant, sweet-minty flavour, this variety is ideal for infusing teas, flavouring legume dishes, gazpachos, or pairing with citrus and olive oil in summer salads.

Known for its resilience in hot, dry climates, ‘Spanish’ mint is a vigorous grower with a spreading habit and a long harvesting window. Its bold, clean aroma makes it equally suited for culinary use, pollinator-friendly gardens, or sensory planting. A mint rooted in Mediterranean tradition, bringing warmth, flavour, and vitality to your herb garden.
