Chocolate mint

Chocolate mint

Mentha x piperita 'Chocolate'

Chocolate Mint has a genuinely distinctive flavour, a combination of cool peppermint and a subtle chocolate undertone, that makes it one of the most popular culinary mints for desserts and beverages, while its fragrant dark-stemmed foliage provides ornamental presence even before the purple summer flower spikes appear.

  • Distinctive chocolate-mint flavour is real and consistent, one of the most recognisable and popular flavoured mints
  • Dark stems and rich green aromatic foliage provide ornamental presence throughout the growing season
  • Purple flower spikes in summer attract pollinators; leaves can be harvested fresh or dried throughout the season
  • Spreading habit requires containment in containers or with root barriers; exceptionally easy to grow
