Mint Strawberry
Strawberry Mint (Mentha × piperita ‘Strawberry’)
A sweet, aromatic mint with soft fruity strawberry notes and a compact, decorative habit 🌿🍓
🍓Strawberry mint is a compact, aromatic perennial with small, bright green leaves that release a sweet, fruity scent reminiscent of strawberries when brushed. It’s gentler and more delicate than spearmint or peppermint, making it perfect for teas, desserts, and summer drinks. The plant forms neat clumps, produces soft pink‑mauve flowers in summer, and is highly attractive to bees. Easy to grow, beautifully scented, and ideal for pots, borders, and sensory gardens.
