Description
Add a splash of vibrant colour to your herb garden with Purple Mint, a striking variety of Mentha × piperita known for its deeply flushed stems and rich purple-tinged foliage. This visually dramatic cultivar doesn’t just bring ornamental flair—it delivers a classic peppermint flavour, making it equally suited to culinary use and herbal teas.
Though its origins are still somewhat unclear, Purple Mint may be related to or even synonymous with ‘Persian Mint’, sharing some similarities in leaf shape and growth habit. However, its strong pigmentation and slightly more compact form make it stand out in mixed borders or container plantings.
Plant it where its colour and fragrance can be fully appreciated—perhaps near seating areas or walkways—where brushing past releases its cool, invigorating aroma. A wonderful choice for those wanting to blend utility with garden drama.
