Mentha x villosa

Wonderfully fragrant! It is clearly different from most other mints - the scent of this aromatic herb and flavor are agreeably mild and warm, not pungent nor overly sweet like other mints. Mojito Mint is classically known as the official mint of the Cuban beverage, the mojito. An aromatic Mint with sweet undertones. Crush fresh leaves into water for a refreshing beverage, or add to tea or coffee. Attracts Hummingbird and Butterflies.
