Basil Mint (Mentha x piperita f. citrata 'Basil') Herb in 9cm Pot

Mint will thrive anywhere, preferring moist, partly shady areas, and are easy to grow from cuttings or replanting of runners. To control spread, this herb should be planted in sunken bottomless containers and kept well watered to ensure good leaf production.

Basil Mint will produce dark green leaves and small mauve flower spikes in mid to late summer, and grow 30-60 cm tall.

Herb Usage

The subtle taste of basil in the young new leaves, in early spring, make this herb an excellent choice for combining with tomatoes.

    Basil mint

    The plant was tiny about 25mm height at most. I couldn’t plant it outside as it would get eaten in two minutes.

    Basil Mint - not sure what it is...

    Posted by Heather on 15th Jul 2016

    This Basil Mint plant has arrived very healthy however I cannot get any Basil fragrance or flavour from the plant. The leaves look like a basil leaf but it is mainly mint in fragrance& taste. Very disappointing :-(
