Discover the plant
Orange mint is a perennial aromatic plant highly prized for its fragrant foliage, which is fresh, minty, and delicately fruity, with a hint of orange. Its unique aroma makes it an ideal variety for herb gardens, edible containers, window boxes, and patio pots. It adds a refreshing and gourmet touch to outdoor spaces, while offering an abundant harvest of aromatic leaves throughout the season.
Easy to grow, orange mint prefers a location with gentle sun or partial shade, in fertile, fresh, and well-drained soil. It appreciates regular watering to maintain tender, flavorful, and well-scented foliage. Like most mints, it can spread quickly when planted in the ground, so it is recommended to grow it in pots or in a delimited space to better control its growth. Frequent pruning promotes a denser, more productive, and easy-to-harvest plant.
Highly versatile in cooking, orange mint is perfect for flavoring infusions, iced teas, lemonades, cocktails, fruit salads, desserts, sorbets, fresh sauces, and summer recipes. Its leaves are used fresh to add a minty, fruity, and bright note to homemade preparations. It is an excellent plant for creating a gourmet, fragrant, and original garden, while enjoying an easy-to-grow herb that is pleasant to use daily.
