Apple Mint

Apple Mint, also known as Woolly Mint, is a hardy and aromatic perennial herb that belongs to the mint family. This delightful plant is prized for its fuzzy, apple-scented leaves, which add a unique twist to traditional mint varieties. Its leaves are oval, bright green, and covered with fine, soft hairs that give the plant a slightly woolly appearance. 

Like its Peppermint counterpart, Apple 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. 

Arrives well-rooted in a 3.5 x 5 inch pot.
