Organic Blackcurrant Mint (Mentha ssp. 'Blackcurrant') is a rare and sophisticated aromatic herb that captivates with its dark, earthy scent. The foliage is strikingly different from common mints, often exhibiting deep green colors with dark purple or charcoal-tinted stems. When the leaves are bruised or brushed against, they release a rich, fruity fragrance that perfectly mimics the tart-sweet aroma of blackcurrant berries.

As a robust member of the Mentha genus, this variety is a favorite among herbal tea enthusiasts and mixologists. The complex flavor profile pairs beautifully with dark berries, chocolate, or savory Mediterranean dishes. Like most mints, it is incredibly hardy and easy to maintain, performing best in pots where its spreading nature can be contained. Its architectural dark stems also make it an attractive ornamental addition to the herb garden.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Sophisticated Fragrance: A deep, berry-like aroma that stands out in any herb collection.
  • Dark Aesthetic: Purple-tinted stems and deep green leaves provide beautiful visual contrast.
  • Flavor Powerhouse: Excellent for gourmet teas, syrups, and culinary experimentation.
  • Vigorous & Hardy: Grows quickly and is very forgiving for beginner gardeners.

Product Details: This Organic Blackcurrant Mint is delivered as an established 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and enjoys consistent moisture.

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!
