Easy to grow, apple mint likes full to part sun and will grow to 18" tall. This mint spreads readily by underground stems, so keep it in check by planting in a large container. Apple Mint, which some refer to as "Fuzzy Mint," is an old fashioned standard with a sunny sweet scent. Bruise the handsome rounded velvety leaves and put them in a pitcher of ice water for a refreshing treat. It makes a great tea with chamomile, relaxing to the mind and the tummy! The fresh or dried Apple Mint leaves can be used to make a delicious Apple Mint Jelly. Fresh leaves can also be used as a garnish and in salads.

Grapefruit mint's slightly hairy leaves have a citrus flavor. It does not spread quite as prolifically as some other mints, producing strong upright stems, and long spikes of incredibly attractive purple flowers in mid to late summer. This mint is worth growing for its flowers alone, but also has attractive culinary uses. The leaves and flowers can both be used in cooking, complementing fruit salads and drinks both with flavor and color.

This mint has a sweet orange flavor, and green, branching stems tinged with red that reach 2 feet when growing in full sun to part shade. Leaves are round to oval, smooth and dark green with a red edge. White and pink flowers in short spikes bloom from mid to late summer. Very fragrant, citrus-like scent. Orange mint thrives alongside water gardens or in damp spots in the yard, but will also survive in drier soil. Lushest growth occurs in moist soil in partial shade, where you may want to leave it in its pot to help curtail its wandering ways. Crush fresh leaves into water for a refreshing beverage, or add to iced tea or cold drinks. Use fresh leaves in salads or to make mint sauce for fish or lamb. Try making orange mint jelly and orange mint vinegar. Pick leaves frequently.
