Product Description

Qualities:

Pineapple mint is a member of the Lamiaceae, or mint family. It is a variety of apple mint and is distinguished by its variegated leaves, ranging from all-white to all-green.

The Pineapple Mint has a hint of pineapple, so it is great to add to fruit salad or juice drinks. It has a beautiful green leaf edged with white.

Although Pineapple mint can be used in cooking, it is popularly grown as an ornamental in containers and hanging baskets or as a fragrant and attractive groundcover.

Care And Harvesting Tips:

Cut and come again! Mint is a rapid-growing plant and can quickly become overgrown if not harvested frequently. Regular harvesting helps to control the size of the plant, encourage the production of new leaves, and prevent the plant from becoming too woody and dry.

If the vigorous all-green leaves are not pruned away, they will take over the entire plant, transforming the Pineapple mint back into its parent, the all-green apple mint
