Flowering | Late spring to late autumn in warmer climates. |
Habit | Mintia® plants have an upright habit. |
Use | Mintia® plants are perfect for adding fragrance to your garden all year round. The foliage of Mintia® plants release a beautiful minty aroma which is not dependent on flowers, so you can enjoy the aroma all year round. Mintia® is ideal for garden boarders, or simply planted throughout the garden to spread the magic around. |
Position | Mintia® plants perform best when exposed to full sun conditions. |
Care | Being a perennial, Mintia® plants will last indefinitely in your garden, and are quite tolerant of both heat and frost. When growing in pots, use a well drained, organically rich potting mix. Avoid allowing plants to dry out. Water adequately but not excessively if planted in the ground. For best results when growing in containers, keep plants slightly moist. Pruning or pinching; see individual variety notes. Use a controlled slow release fertiliser. |
