3 live bare root plants with 5–6" stems Field grown in Brattleboro, Vermont Washed clean of soil, mailed in moist medium
A sweet, multi-layered fruit aroma from a vigorous, attractive hybrid mint. The lime-green leaves have a soft texture and grow into a lush, full plant. It's one of those mints that's hard to describe precisely because the fruit note doesn't land on any one thing — it's just generically, pleasantly fruity in a way that works in teas, drinks, and dessert garnishes.

Fruit Mint is a hybrid cultivar developed in the specialty herb trade, and its exact parentage isn't publicly documented — a common situation with ornamental and novelty mint cultivars developed outside academic settings. Hybridization within Mentha is exceptionally fluid: the genus interbreeds so freely in the wild and in cultivation that many cultivars arise spontaneously and only become "named" when a grower notices something interesting and propagates it. This means there are hundreds of named mint cultivars worldwide with varying degrees of documented botanical origin.
