Plant Features

Orange Mint offers a unique citrus fragrance and flavor like the tropical fruit bergamot. It is often used in mint jellies and sauces, herbal teas, and mint vinegar. 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

Orange mint

Small but well packed and very healthy looking. Took off growing in no time.

Orange Mint

Smells divine. I have it placed in a hay basket planter at the front door. The sweet smell of this herb is wonderful. I am getting more for the back deck and for my neighbor.

From Karen | June 08, 2023

Doing so well!

I'm very happy with this plant & love that it's organically grown! Now only if the Fed Ex delivery person would read the box & make sure it's right side up!

Always high quality

Grow Joy always sends plants that are in excellent condition and are young (not old leggy plants like you get from others).

Orange Mint Herb Plant

I planted this herb plant in a big hanging pot with the Rose Lofospermum (also from you), by the door to our gardens. Orange is my favorite fruit flavor, so I really enjoyed the fragrance every time I went in and out the door. Thank You Again, GrowJoy! Nancy Gebhardt

Not sure about flavor

I debated this and the chocolate mint. I don’t taste a strong orange flavor yet but I want to wait until it grows more.
