Chocolate Mint

Genus: Mentha
Species: x piperita
Variety: 'Chocolate'
Plant Type: Perennial Herb

This variety of Mint has most unusual flavoured leaves, smelling strangely of After Eight Mints! It has lots of mauve flowers from mid summer to the autumn that, like all mints, are very attractive to butterflies and bees etc.
