Calapep-X Mint

Description

‘Calapep-x’ is a rare and distinctive cultivar of Mentha arvensis var. piparescens, emerging from specialist breeding programmes focused on high menthol content and aromatic clarity. With its compact, bushy growth and deep green, narrow leaves, this variety reflects the agronomic excellence typically seen in trial strains intended for essential oil production.

What sets ‘Calapep-x’ apart is its sharp, clean scent—powerfully minty with a slightly medicinal edge—and its resilience in a range of soil types, making it a good choice for those interested in both utility and cultivation interest. Though not yet common in garden centres, its presence in collections signals an interest in functional mint breeding and aromatic specificity.

Whether grown for its intense oil yield, its place in the story of Mentha arvensis development, or simply for its strong flavour in infusions or therapeutic blends, ‘Calapep-x’ offers a conversation-starting rarity for the discerning mint enthusiast.
