Kagenhild Mint

Description

Introduce elegance and precision to your herb garden with Mentha longifolia ‘Kagenhild’, a striking German cultivar celebrated for its incredibly symmetrical growth and tall, statuesque form. With its upright posture and finely arranged stems, ‘Kagenhild’ brings a sense of sculptural balance and poise to any planting scheme.

Its soft, grey-green foliage is covered with a delicate down, typical of longifolia types, and releases a subtle, lemony mint fragrance when touched—making it as pleasing to the nose as it is to the eye. The hint of citrus lends itself well to light infusions, herbal teas, and cooling summer drinks, while also adding a fresh lift to salads and desserts.

A variety hailing from Germany, Kagenhild is both ornamental and useful, performing well in sunny, free-draining conditions. This robust, hardy plant thrives with minimal fuss, making it a distinguished choice for collectors and gardeners seeking structure, scent, and beauty in one.
