Chocolate Mint

Plant divisions in rich, consistently moist soil and confine the roots with a buried barrier or container, as this mint spreads aggressively like all peppermint cultivars. Provide consistent moisture and partial shade in hot climates to prevent the dark-stemmed foliage from scorching. Harvest stems just before flowers open for the most pronounced menthol-and-chocolate aroma; the leaves are prized for their distinctive scent in desserts, hot chocolate, and after-dinner teas. Cut plants back to 2–3 in above ground after each main harvest to stimulate a flush of fragrant new growth. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 12–24 дюймів Дні до схожості: null–null Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C
