Curly Mint

Description

Curly Spearmint (Mentha spicata var. crispa)  is a charming twist on classic spearmint, Mentha spicata var. crispa—commonly known as Curly Spearmint—features distinctively ruffled, bright green leaves with a soft texture and deeply crinkled edges. This variety retains the sweet, refreshing flavour and mild menthol aroma of traditional spearmint but adds extra ornamental appeal, making it ideal for kitchen gardens, sensory planting, and decorative containers.

Highly prized in culinary use, Curly Spearmint lends itself beautifully to teas, salads, sauces, and cocktails, with the added benefit of being visually striking when used as a garnish. Vigorous yet tidy in growth, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. A must-have for gardeners who want both flavour and flair in their herb collection.
