Slim, large-leaved mint with very dark green foliage tinged with deep purple. Very vigorous - up to 70cm tall, purple flowers in mid-late summer.

This came from Lawson Park kitchen garden - where Karen lives.

2 Notes

this is a very 'dessert-y' mint, very pungent indeed.

Nina Picked some of this from the garden at The Big Lunch and gave it to Angie and I: it made excellent fresh mint tea.
