The perfect herb for flavoring all kinds of food, especially desserts, with its delicious minty, citrusy taste and scent. Deep purplish-green foliage is very attractive and the plant is very easy to grow. Tolerating full sun and partial shade, orangemint is best suited to be grown in a sunken pot in the garden or in a container to contain its invasive nature. It even tolerates growing indoors on a sunny windowsill for a winter treat! Perennial.
