Carinthian Mint

Description

Transport your senses to the alpine landscapes with Carinthian Mint, also known as Austrian Mint (see also Mentha carinthiaca Host — M. arvensis × M. suaveolens). Originating from the Carinthia region of southern Austria, this robust hybrid combines the cool, invigorating sharpness of field mint with the soft, fruity undertones of apple mint.

Carinthian Mint features mid-green, textured leaves and a bold, aromatic flavour ideal for teas, savoury dishes, and infusions. It holds its own in the kitchen but really stands out in the garden thanks to its vigorous, upright growth and tolerance of a range of soils and conditions. Once established, it spreads enthusiastically, forming dense clumps that can provide excellent ground cover or a reliable bulk to herbaceous borders.

With its resilience, high leaf yield, and quick regrowth after cutting, Carinthian Mint is a great choice for those looking for a productive and low-maintenance mint. Just give it room — and consider containing the roots — as it will happily take over a bed if left unchecked.
