Chocolate Mint - for SPRING PLANTING is now ready to ship!
This is a very strong mint used for teas. Has a smell like a peppermint patty. Add fresh leaves to strawberries for a special treat!
Great dried and added to black tea or used by itself. Easy to grow, spreads rapidly.
Plant Chocolate Mint in the spring after the last frost, or in the fall 2 to 3 weeks before your first frost and have beautiful well-established, rapidly growing plants come up in the spring!
Water regularly until well established (you will be able to see new top growth and may notice that the plant has begun to lay over and put down roots wherever it touches the ground) and provide about a half day of sunshine. When first frost approaches mulch to protect from the winter weather. The leaves of the Chocolate Mint plant do die back in the winter, but you will see new shoots come up near where it was planted early the next spring.
Our Chocolate Mint grows well in an area that receives morning sun and is shaded after 2PM in the summer. It is virtually care-free and survives mild dry spells, but you will want to water it if you experience an extended period of dry weather.
