Pineapple Mint

Plant Name: Pineapple Mint
Other Names: Mentha suaveolens 'Variegata'


Description: The leaves are outlined in white. It's hairier than the other mint. When you use your fingers to gently rub the leaf, there is a distinctive pineapple smell.

Uses: You can use them in beverages.

Cultivation: Fairly easy to grow pineapple mint. I placed my pineapple mint under full sun and grew pretty well. I water the plant twice a day. Make sure that the soil is well drained.

Propagation: by stem cuttings
