    Applemint is the the absolute tops I purchased mine from a Womans Institute stall years ago. Its wonderful flavour texture enhances salads, used chopped up in butter on taters well anything really but I have it growing loose in the garden in fact it needs to be harvestedsoon before it flowers, for my mint sauce concentrate

    Nice mint Robert. I grow 5 varieties (mint, orange, lime, chocolate and lemon) and always have one in the window, in pots it's lovely on the patio as well. Hope it's doing OK for you!

    Hi Sime. You must like mint. ( 5 varieties )
    I had to replace mine as you know and at this time its looking good and fit to suvive the winter. No idea what type I have at the moment but it seems to be doing the job a treat
