Mojito Mint Starter Plant (Mentha × villosa)

A bright, refreshing mint long cherished in Caribbean kitchens and gardens. Mojito Mint brings a clean, mild‑sweet flavor with soft, textured leaves — perfect for teas, coolers, muddled drinks, and summer herbal blends. This is the classic mint traditionally used in Cuban mojitos, now grown with care in Alabama soil.
