Mint, Basil – Mentha x piperita f. citrata ‘Basil’ is a lush, aromatic mint with just a hint of basil scent. Pale purple flowers in summer that are attractive to pollinators.

A versatile mint to use in the kitchen, try in a tea, salads or even in a pesto.

As with all mints it is a vigorous grower. It will grow quite happily in a container where it can’t be too boisterous next to other plants!
