Verte Blanche Mint

Description

Also known as ‘White Mint’, Mentha spicata ‘Verte Blanche’ is a refined French heirloom variety of spearmint, distinguished by its soft, pale green leaves with a slightly silvery, almost frosted appearance. The foliage is finely textured and subtly downy, giving the plant a luminous quality in the garden, especially in morning or evening light.

With its classic spearmint flavour—sweet, cooling, and gently herbal—‘Verte Blanche’ is ideal for culinary use, including mint sauces, teas, salads, and confections. Traditionally grown in Provençal herb gardens, it offers both aesthetic beauty and rich cultural heritage. Vigorous yet graceful, it thrives in sun or part shade and makes a charming addition to herb beds, containers, or sensory gardens. A spearmint with elegance and history, perfect for those who appreciate the subtler details.
