Chocolate Mint

Chocolate Mint is a captivating herb carrying a delightful mix of fresh mint and subtle chocolate aroma. Ideal for gardens or pots, this easy-to-grow perennial smells divine as all mints do.

Its unique scent, reminiscent of mint chocolate, makes it a versatile culinary herb. From desserts to savory dishes, Chocolate Mint enhances various recipes. The leaves are perfect for brewing a soothing cup of chocolate mint tea, offering both flavor and relaxation. You can also make a unique mojito with it! Beyond its culinary uses, Chocolate Mint is valued for potential digestive benefits and stress relief. 

Like its Peppermint counterpart, Chocolate Mint can be invasive, so it's recommended to plant it in containers or use barriers to control its spread. Here at the nursery, we have it planted between the forest's edge and a mowed vehicle path to keep it contained.
