If you love Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies, this is the perfect herb for you! Chocolate Mint smells and tastes delicious, with a refreshing menthol aroma and hints of chocolate flavor. Perfect for using in your favorite desserts, the crushed leaves add a lovely flavor to tea or coffee, too. Mint can be a bit of a garden bully, so plant it in a pot or alongside a water garden away from other plants. Use it fresh or dried in ice cream, cakes, or meringues. Harvest leaves often. Lavender blooms appear in late summer and attract pollinators. Perennial in zones 3 to 11. Plant in full sun to partial shade, 18 to 24 inches apart, after last frost in spring or in fall.
