Moroccan Mint (Mentha spicata 'Moroccan') Herb in 9 cm pot

Moroccan Mint is a native of Europe, but has been naturalised worldwide. 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.

Moroccan Mint will produce small white flower spikes in mid to late summer, and grow 30-60 cm tall.

Herb Uses

Moroccan Mint is a spearmint and is a more compact plant than other spearmints, and is the best variety for making spearmint tea. An excellent all-rounder. This hardy perennial is essentially a culinary herb used in sauces to complement meats (mint sauce with lamb), soups, salads, vegetable dishes, sweet dishes and drinks. Used in the making mojito drinks.
