Mint, Julep

Mentha spicata

This mint is named after the famous drink "Mint Julep", made with Kentucky bourbon, because of its particularly smooth flavor. It is one of the sweeter mints, and goes well in desserts and teas. An aggressive grower, it should be confined to pots or small or separated areas of the garden, like other mints.

Try growing various varieties of mints in pots on a patio, or along a sidewalk. Then experiment with the different flavors, in salads, teas, desserts, or with lamb.
