Mint: Mentha suaveolens

description for "Mint: Mentha suaveolens"

When you rub the green and white leaves of Pineapple mint it releases a rich fragrance that smells exactly like ripe pineapples. Pineapple mint is relatively mild mannered and won't spread through your garden as quickly as other mints. It requires a rich, moist soil. 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.
