Description
Bring a breath of continental freshness to your garden with Fraîche Mint, a variety believed to belong to the Mentha cordifolia group. Its dark, textured leaves release a fresh, fruity scent with hints of citrus and mint, capturing a perfume that’s both vibrant and refined.
Likely originating in France, could this variety have inspired the cult fragrance “Menthe Fraîche” by Heeley, celebrated for its clean, green essence. Growing up to 1.2 metres tall, it has a more upright and elegant form than many mints, making it ideal for ornamental herb beds, cutting gardens, or container displays.
The subtle yet complex aroma makes Fraîche Mint a perfect choice for cooling teas, garnishes, fruit salads, or infused syrups. Though not the most aggressive of growers, it will still benefit from container planting or root containment to prevent spreading.
For those seeking a mint that looks as good as it smells, Fraîche Mint offers continental charm, culinary versatility, and garden elegance in equal measure.
