Mint, Orange
Mentha piperita 'Citrata'
Orange mint not only has a citrus aroma and flavor, but it is considerably spicier and stronger than most mints. It is used in teas and infusions. The flavor goes a long way, so use in small quantities.
Growing Tips This mint can also be overwhelming in the garden, so keep an eye on it or plant it apart; grows well in containers.
