Mint Orange

Orange Mint is a highly aromatic herb cultivated primarily for the strong citrus-cologne scent found in its broad, dark green leaves. This refreshing perfume, which blends mint with distinct notes of bergamot and orange, is released powerfully when the leaves are crushed. It is traditionally used to flavour refreshing summer drinks, fruit salads, and dressings, where its fruity profile works better than common spearmint.

This plant is typically grown as a vigorous, hardy perennial that spreads aggressively via underground runners. It is robust and frost-tolerant, dying back in winter to return reliably every spring. For the best results and strongest oil content, plant it in a location with partial shade or full sun. It is not drought-tolerant and thrives in rich, heavy soil that is kept consistently moist through regular watering.
