What You Will Receive: You will receive a value pack of 3 Live Mojito Mint Starter Plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted saplings are shipped in their grow pots/plugs (not bare root) to ensure maximum hydration and are ready for immediate planting in containers or garden beds.
The "Real Deal" Flavor: Experience the authentic taste of Havana. Unlike standard spearmint which can be overpowering, this true Cuban variety (Mentha x villosa) offers a mild, warm, and citrusy flavor without the sharp menthol bite. It is the only mint to use for a perfectly balanced, professional-grade Mojito.
Versatile Growing Options: The ultimate kitchen companion. Mojito Mint is incredibly adaptable, thriving in containers, hanging baskets, or window boxes. Because mint spreads rapidly, we highly recommend growing it in pots to contain its enthusiasm, making it perfect for small patios, balconies, or sunny kitchen windowsills.
Aromatic & Culinary Delight: Elevate your mixology and cooking. Beyond cocktails, this herb’s large, textured leaves are perfect for infusing water, brewing fresh herbal tea, or chopping into fruit salads. Its scent is refreshing and distinct, acting as a natural air freshener for your patio.
Easy Care Promise: Virtually indestructible. Mint is one of the easiest plants to grow, making it perfect for beginners. It is naturally deer and rabbit resistant, cold-hardy down to Zone 5, and bounces back quickly from harvesting.
Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the foliage and root system during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and water well. Keep in a shaded area for 24 hours to recover from travel stress before moving to a sunny spot. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Bring the Taste of the Tropics to Your Patio
Imagine sitting on your porch on a warm summer evening, muddling fresh, aromatic leaves into a crisp, ice-cold drink. With our 3-Pack of Authentic Mojito Mint, you don't have to imagine. This isn't the generic mint you find in the grocery store; this is Mentha x villosa, the true culinary herb used in authentic Cuban recipes. It possesses a nuanced, mild flavor with hints of citrus and spice that complements, rather than overpowers, your beverages.
Lush, Textured, and Fast-Growing
Mojito Mint is easily distinguished by its large, rounded leaves and fuzzy texture. It is a vigorous grower that quickly forms a lush, green mat of foliage. Whether you are a master mixologist looking for the perfect garnish or a home cook wanting to elevate a watermelon salad, these plants provide an endless supply of fresh ingredients right outside your door.
Perfect for Pots and Planters
Mint is famous for its "enthusiasm" to grow, which is why we recommend planting your Mojito Mint in containers. This makes it the ideal plant for urban gardeners, balcony growers, or anyone with a sunny windowsill. By keeping it in a pot, you get all the harvest with none of the hassle of it taking over your flower beds. It thrives in the sun but appreciates a little afternoon shade in the hottest climates.
Simple Care, Endless Harvests
We ship these plants at a healthy 5-9 inch height, ready to be potted up. They are incredibly low-maintenance: just give them regular water and a bit of sunlight. The more you harvest, the bushier they get! Snip a few sprigs for your drink, and the plant will thank you with fresh new growth.
