Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Ginger Mint will thrive anywhere, preferring moist partly shady areas, and are easy to grow from cuttings or replanting of runners. To control spread, this herb should be planted in sunken bottomless containers and kept well watered to ensure good leaf production.
Ginger Mint will produce small mauve flower spikes in mid to late summer, and grow 15-30cm tall.
The distinctive delicate aroma and taste of Ginger mint may be used in sauces to complement meats (chicken and veal), soups, salads, vegetable dishes, sweet dishes and drinks.
Our potted Ginger Mint herb plants are generally available to buy online between March and September.

Purchased these as companion plants for Stachys in order to deter slugs and snails. These plants are not only lovely (yellow gold with stripes), but work a treat against nocturnal pests. Haven't seen a slug since I planted these mints. Very good choice of mint for this purpose.
My favourite looking mint! The leaves are a beautiful colour!
Decent sized plant, especially for the price, in good condition and well packaged. Looks good too. A bargain.
I ordered on the Friday and received them on the Tuesday. Every one was in fantastic condition, packed so well I don't think the plants even knew they had been transported. Planted them in my big herb pots, the mints in one and the sages in the other and watered them in. Made sure they were watered for a couple of days and then we had rain. The plants look in great shape and even in 6 days have grown. Really healthy and I am so pleased. If I want any more herbs I will definitely be ordering from your company. Thank you very much.
