Mint Mojito Herb

Mint ‘Mojito’ is a refreshing culinary herb prized for its bright mint flavor, fragrant foliage, and vigorous growth habit. Its textured green leaves release a crisp, cooling aroma when touched or crushed, with a smooth flavor that makes it especially popular for mojitos and other refreshing drinks. Beyond cocktails, the fresh leaves are excellent in teas, fruit dishes, desserts, salads, sauces, and a wide variety of recipes. Fast-growing, easy to harvest, and highly productive, Mint ‘Mojito’ brings fresh flavor and fragrance to sunny windows, patios, containers, and herb gardens.

Key Features:

• Fresh mint flavor – aromatic green leaves provide a crisp, refreshing flavor with a smooth minty finish.
• Perfect for mojitos – an excellent choice for muddling into mojitos, cocktails, mocktails, lemonade, and other refreshing drinks.
• Versatile culinary herb – fresh leaves can also be used in teas, desserts, fruit dishes, salads, sauces, and garnishes.
• Fast and productive – vigorous growth provides a steady supply of fresh mint throughout the growing season.

Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright light and performs well with 4–6 or more hours of sunlight each day. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can help protect the foliage from intense heat.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Mint appreciates regular watering and should not be allowed to remain completely dry for extended periods.
• Humidity: Adapts well to average household and outdoor humidity. Good airflow helps maintain healthy foliage, especially when plants become dense.
• Soil & Potting: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with plenty of organic matter. Mint spreads vigorously, so growing it in a container is an excellent way to keep its growth under control.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during spring and summer while actively growing. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage excessive soft growth.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures around 60–85°F (16–29°C). Established mint can tolerate cooler conditions, although growth may slow or die back during cold weather before returning when temperatures warm.

Growth & Size:

Fast-growing under warm, bright conditions; typically reaches around 12–24 inches tall and can spread rapidly through underground runners. Regular harvesting and pinching encourages branching and helps maintain a full, bushy plant. For the best supply of tender leaves, harvest frequently and remove flower stalks when they appear.

Safety Note:

Mint ‘Mojito’ is an edible culinary herb grown for human consumption and can be harvested fresh throughout the growing season. Always wash leaves before use, especially after applying fertilizers or garden treatments. While small amounts of fresh mint are generally not considered a major concern for pets, concentrated mint oils and large quantities should be avoided, and pets should be discouraged from heavily consuming the foliage.
