Plant Features

The leaves of Chocolate Mint have a chocolate and peppermint fragrance that reminds you of an after-dinner dessert! Delightful when added to teas, coffees, chocolate desserts, and baked goods. Best used fresh. Mint is easy to grow and does well in full to part sun locations with moist soil. Plants can be aggressive if planted in the soil. They do great in containers. Pollinators love the flowers. It can be grown indoors within a few feet of a east, south, or west facing window. Indoor plants should be watered just as the potting mix starts to dry.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Space plants 18-24 inches apart as mint spreads rapidly

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil
  • - Amend soil with organic matter to improve fertility and moisture retention

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist
  • - Mint thrives in slightly damp conditions but avoid waterlogging

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season

Pruning and Training:

  • - Harvest mint leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth
  • - Cut back mint in late fall to help control its spread

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Monitor for common pests such as spider mites and aphids
  • - Use organic pesticides or introduce beneficial insects as needed

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Mint is adaptable to a range of temperatures, but protect from extreme cold with mulch

Chocolate Mint

What can I add? Chocolate Mint. Divine aroma. Growing well. Nice garnish.

From Karen | September 08, 2023


Perfect

Delivered in perfect condition after being very well packed. Immediately happy after being hardened off and then planted.

Packed carefully

So far, so good! I wish there was a more eco-friendly way of packing these plants, but I do appreciate the care put into it.

Chocolate Mint

Could not find this plant locally. This was an excellent choice. Plants were healthy and delivery was on time. Will do it again.

Chocolate Mint

Very healthy little plants! and they DO smell like the name says.

From Mark | July 18, 2022


Healthy plants

I ordered three of these, and they all came healthy and well packed. They were a little leggy and root bound, but mints are very prolific growers. I moved them up to a larger pot and they are very happy. The original stems flopped over a bit, but they plants are sending up new, healthy stems that are more compact.

robust plant, great scent/flavor

These really do have a great chocolate-y mint scent/flavor. Arrived small last fall, came back this year growing much larger and robust!

Chocolate mint love

My mint plant came so well packed and so healthy. She’s happily transplanted and growing strong. Good thing too because I keep nibbling a leaf or two.
