Oval, variegated cream and green, slightly hairy leaves with white flowers from summer to autumn. Prefers moist, well drained soil in sun or partial shade. Not a rampant mint. Grows well in hanging baskets. Add to vegetables, salads and fruit salads. Approx. Ht. 50cm. Mint is invasive, so if planting straight into the garden, it is advisable to sink a large bottomless container into the ground and plant the mint into the centre, to inhibit the spread.
