Proserpina Mint

Description

Step into the mythic and aromatic world of Mentha × piperita ‘Proserpina’, a peppermint variety as evocative as the goddess it’s named for. This elegant cultivar offers a bold peppermint character with refined sweetness and complexity, making it a standout in both flavour and form.

Its deep green, lance-shaped leaves shimmer with subtle gloss and grow on dark burgundy stems, creating a striking contrast that makes it as decorative as it is useful. ‘Proserpina’ delivers a clean, sharp menthol scent balanced by a smooth finish—ideal for teas, confections, cordials, or soothing balms.

While bearing the classic hallmarks of peppermint (Mentha × piperita), ‘Proserpina’ has a compact, upright habit, making it suitable for smaller gardens, balcony pots, or ornamental herb beds. Its resilience and vigour are matched only by its rich, cooling aroma.

A mint for those who appreciate myth, medicine, and mixology, ‘Proserpina’ brings a touch of underworld mystery—and heavenly flavour—to your planting scheme.
