Mint 'Moroccan'
Mentha spicata var. crispa 'Moroccan',
4-inch pot
 
Moroccan Mint is an aromatic perennial boasting bright green, crinkled leaves with a strong, sweet, refreshing flavor. It is considered a sweeter and milder version of spearmint, with a subtle sweetness that balances the minty flavor. Spikes of tiny, white flowers are borne above the foliage in summer. Moroccan Mint spreads by creeping rhizomes to form an extensive colony. It is known for its strong, sweet mint flavor and is commonly used in Moroccan cuisine, especially for making traditional Moroccan mint tea. In addition to its culinary uses, Mentha 'Moroccan' is also valued for its aromatic qualities. It is sometimes used in herbal remedies for digestive issues and as a refreshing scent in potpourri and other aromatic products.
