description for "Mint: Mentha 'Doublemint'"
If you're looking for a mint with a strong spearmint flavor, Doublemint is the plant to grow. Its dark green leaves are extremely fragrant, making it a wonderful garnish for ice tea, fruit salads, or other dishes. Like most mints, Doublemint is an aggressive grower and should be planted where it can be contained. Can be planted outdoors in the Autumn. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
