May Mint

Description

Fresh, light, and quietly assertive, Mentha ‘May’ is a peppermint variety that brings a gentle charm to your herb garden. Named for the month of renewal, this cultivar lives up to its name with vigorous spring growth, upright posture, and a beautifully balanced peppermint aroma. Unlike some sharper peppermints, May offers a refined menthol profile—cooling but not overpowering—making it an ideal choice for teas, desserts, and subtle infusions.

Its mid-green, slightly elongated leaves grow on dark stems in a neat and symmetrical habit, making it just as appealing ornamentally as it is in the kitchen. Whether brewed, crushed fresh, or left to perfume the garden, Mentha ‘May’ is a dependable, delicate, and refreshing addition to any mint collection.
