Pineapple Mint (Mentha suaveolens 'Variegata')

A variety of apple mint, but has green and white variegated leaves which make it a pretty herb to grow in the garden and perfect as a food garnish. A perennial plant, it produces long spikes of pale white or cream flowers.

Like all mints, however, it is an invasive plant which can take over a whole garden if it is not kept strictly under control. It is therefore a good herb for container growing

Pineapple mint grows to a height of 8-12'' and prefers partial shade and a moist, rich soil.
