    Orange Bergamot MintOrange Bergamot MintOrange Bergamot Mint (Mentha x piperita Orange) is a refreshing and aromatic twist on the traditional herb garden staple. Also known as "Bergamot Mint," this variety is prized for its unique citrus-scented foliage. The dark green leaves are often edged in a striking deep purple, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious.

    As a resilient member of the Mentha genus, Orange Mint offers a bright, citrusy alternative to standard peppermints. It is the ultimate "beverage mint," lending a sophisticated orange zest to summer teas, cocktails, and infused waters. Its flavor profile pairs beautifully with fruit salads, fish, and poultry dishes. Because of its vigorous, trailing habit, it makes an excellent choice for hanging baskets or large containers where it can spill over the sides. In the spring and summer, it produces delicate lavender flower spikes that are highly attractive to pollinators while remaining naturally deer resistant.

    Why you’ll love it:

    • Unique Citrus Flavor: A bright orange-scented aroma that elevates salads, desserts, and savory dishes.
    • Ornamental Foliage: Dark green leaves with purple margins add a touch of "jewelry" to your herb collection.
    • Vigorous & Hardy: Exceptionally cold-hardy (Zone 4) and fairly drought tolerant compared to other mint varieties.
    • Pollinator Magnet: Lavender flowers provide a nectar source for butterflies and bees throughout the summer.
    • Perfect for Baskets: The trailing growth habit (up to 24 inches) makes it a beautiful and functional container plant.

    This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. While it can handle moderate watering, it is more tolerant of dry spells than traditional water-loving mints. To keep its spreading habit in check, we recommend growing it in a dedicated pot or a hanging basket. Reaching a size of roughly 24 inches in height and width, it provides a lush, fragrant harvest all season long.

    We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

    All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

    Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

    If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

    Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
