Cucumber Mint

Description

Refresh your senses with the crisp, cooling aroma of Cucumber Mint, an unusual and invigorating variety that blends the familiar brightness of mint with the fresh, green essence of cucumber. This unique hybrid stands out in any herb garden for its enormous, elongated lozenge-shaped leaves, which are likely the inspiration behind its name and certainly part of its visual charm.

The flavour is subtly herbal with a mellow, vegetal twist, making it a perfect addition to iced teas, chilled soups, fruit salads, and light summer dishes. But where this mint truly shines is in its role in cocktails—particularly the Cucumber Gin and Tonic, where its cooling profile enhances botanical spirits and adds an aromatic lift without overpowering the drink.

Ideal for container growing or garden borders, Cucumber Mint is both decorative and productive. Its upright, leafy habit produces a generous harvest throughout the season, while its scent makes it a natural fit for sensory gardens and fragrant pathways. A revitalising, modern mint with a clean finish—perfect for gardeners and mixologists alike.
