Mint 'Berries & Cream' - 4" Pot

Mint 'Berries & Cream' (Mentha spp. 'Berries & Cream') is a delightful hybrid perennial herb developed by breeder James Westerfield around 2003. This vigorous, compact plant grows 18–24 inches tall and wide, forming bushy clumps with small, dark-green, ovate leaves (2–3 cm long) and tight clusters of mauve flowers in summer. It offers a unique, soothing aroma and flavor blending classic mint refreshment with sweet, subtle berry and vanilla-cream undertones—milder and fruitier than standard peppermint. Fast-growing and adaptable, it thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil, ideal for containers to control spreading, and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

This culinary standout enhances desserts, beverages, and light dishes with its playful fruity-mint profile. Use fresh leaves in herbal teas, fruit salads, smoothies, flavored waters, cocktails, or as a garnish for ice cream, cakes, and yogurt. Finely chop for sauces, drizzles over sweets, or infuse in syrups; it pairs beautifully with berries, chocolate, vanilla, and summer fruits. Dry leaves for potpourri, sachets, or year-round tea. Fresh maximizes its warm, berry-kissed essence, adding delightful sweetness to everyday recipes.
