Rhodos Mint

Originating from the sun-soaked Greek island of Rhodes, Mentha spicata ‘Rhodos’ is a fragrant, sun-loving spearmint variety treasured for its bright, clean flavour and compact, bushy habit. With vivid green, finely serrated leaves and a sweet, herbal scent, this mint captures the essence of traditional Aegean cuisine, where it is used to lift dishes such as dolmades, grilled meats, and yoghurt sauces, and to infuse cooling herbal teas enjoyed throughout the long, warm season.

‘Rhodos’ mint thrives in dry, well-drained soils and Mediterranean climates, making it a robust and drought-tolerant option for herb gardens and containers. Its flavour is rounded and slightly fruity, offering a gentler note than standard spearmint—perfect for pairing with lemon, olive oil, and summer vegetables. With deep culinary roots and resilient beauty, ‘Rhodos’ brings a taste of the Greek islands to your garden and kitchen.
