notes
The scent of citrus is emitted from the green foliage of this Grapefruit variety of Mint, so it is an ideal plant for positioning near a pathway or terrace where it may be brushed against, releasing the fragrance. Fresh leaves can be added to summer drinks, iced tea or salads for a burst of zingy flavour. It bears purple flower spikes in summer which attract bees and other pollinators.

- Pot Size: 1L (14cm / 6in)
- Height and Spread: 60cm (1ft 11in) x 150cm (4ft 11in)
