Description

Explore the aromatic fusion of basil and mint with the delightful Basil Mint, a naturally occurring hybrid that brings together the savory warmth of basil with the refreshing lift of mint. The result is a herb of remarkable complexity, equally suited to sweet and savoury dishes.

Its broad, deep green leaves release a spicy, herbaceous scent that evokes both Mediterranean basil and cool peppermint, making it a fantastic addition to herbal teas, pasta sauces, fruit salads, and infused oils. It works beautifully with tomatoes, citrus, and soft cheeses, and is also ideal for crafting distinctive cocktails or syrups.

Vigorous yet manageable, Basil Mint grows well in containers or borders, preferring sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. A standout for its culinary versatility and intriguing flavour profile, it’s the perfect mint for gardeners and cooks who enjoy experimenting with layered, aromatic herbs.
