Description
Infuse your garden with a burst of colour, fragrance, and pollinator appeal with Variegated Buddleja Mint, a truly distinctive and decorative mint. Its striking foliage features patches of yellowy-cream to soft sulphur-toned variegation, irregularly splashed across the leaf surface rather than tracing the margins—giving it a painterly, almost sun-dappled effect. This irregular variegation makes each plant a little different, adding to its ornamental charm.
Though sometimes mistaken for ‘Variegated Silver Mint’, this is a different and more upright cultivar, notable for its large lavender flower spikes reminiscent of the butterfly bush (Buddleja), and equally beloved by bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. The flower heads are unusually large for a mint, offering a bold and extended display from midsummer into autumn.
Not really one for the herb garden as such having a strong herbaceous flavour. Its compact yet upright habit, growing to around 70–90cm, still makes it an excellent dual-purpose plant—both practical and striking in the border or pollinator garden.
Perfect for those seeking a rare, visually rich mint that supports biodiversity while delighting the senses.
