Description:
Mint, Hillary’s Sweet Lemon (Mentha dulcia citreus)
Mint, Hillary’s Sweet Lemon – Mentha dulcia citreus
Mint, Hillary’s Sweet Lemon – Mentha dulcia citreus gets its name from Hillary Clinton, whom it is names after.
This mint has grey-green foliage with a strong, lemon aroma in addition to light purple flower spikes in summer.
The many branched stems result in a spreading growth habit and a particularly long flowering period.
An interesting mint to use in recipes, great for adding to cool drinks in the summer for a subtle minty lemon flavour.
