Ribécourt Mint

Description

Mentha villosa ‘Ribécourt’ is a vigorous and aromatic variety known for its broad, softly textured leaves and delicate silver-green sheen. Named after the region of Ribécourt in northern France, this mint stands out for its refined scent profile—gentler than peppermint, yet more complex than standard spearmint.

The leaves are large and downy, releasing a mellow, slightly sweet fragrance when brushed or crushed. It’s an ideal choice for fresh use in the kitchen, whether in chopped herb salads, herb butters, or as a subtle lift in cool drinks and fruit dishes. Its tender leaves are also excellent for infusions, offering a soft, minty note without overpowering bitterness.

With a compact but spreading habit, ‘Ribécourt’ makes an excellent addition to ornamental herb beds or container plantings, where its textured foliage can shine.

Choose Mentha villosa ‘Ribécourt’ if you’re seeking a mint that brings elegance, versatility, and a lighter aromatic touch to your garden and kitchen alike.
