Pineapple Mint Starter Plant – Variegated Tea & Culinary Herb

Pineapple Mint (Mentha suaveolens ‘Variegata’) is an eye-catching mint with soft green-and-cream variegated leaves and a fresh, fruity aroma. Its colorful foliage brings both beauty and usefulness to tea gardens, kitchen gardens, mixed herb plantings, and patio containers.

Grown with care at Sweet Martha’s Family Farmacy in Alabama, each starter is raised in small batches and shipped well-rooted and ready to continue producing fragrant, variegated foliage throughout the growing season.

Why Grow Pineapple Mint?

Its fruity fragrance, repeat harvests, and green-and-cream leaves make it equally at home in a working herb garden or an ornamental container. It also grows well in hanging baskets and other spaces where its colorful foliage can be enjoyed up close.
