6 live bare root plants with 5–6" stems | Field grown in Brattleboro, Vermont | Washed clean of

soil, mailed in moist medium

Citrus Mint — sometimes called Orange Mint or Bergamot Mint — offers a delightfully bright and

unexpected flavor profile: the familiar backbone of peppermint with vivid notes of orange, lemon,

and citrus zest layered on top. It is one of the most aromatic mints we grow, and it produces a

beautiful, complex flavor that is endlessly useful in the kitchen.

Use it in fruit teas, summer cocktails, lemonade, desserts, fruit salads, or anywhere a bright

citrusy herb note would elevate a dish. It is equally at home as a garnish or steeped as a

standalone tea. In the garden, the leaves are a deep, rich green with a glossy finish and the scent

alone makes it worth growing. Hardy and vigorous, it overwinters reliably in Vermont conditions.

QUICK SPECS:
