All things minty, but mainly just mint. This shop allows the connoisseur, the interested, botanist, or gourmand the chance to buy collections of, or individual, mint plants from around the world.
We've tried our very best to match the correct Latin name to the Common name of each of these plants, but it isn't always easy with mint - and so we have to rely heavily on our mintellect.
PLEASE NOTE - Pennyroyal Mint is a traditional folk remedy, emmenagogue, abortifacient, and culinary herb, but is toxic to the liver and has caused some deaths when taken in the form of the extracted essential oil. It can cause abortions so caution is advised.
On the odd occasion a mint may not be available and so we will be able to either offer a substitute or give you a timeframe of when it will become available again. The collection continues to grow and more mints and minty facts will be added as the mint-clock ticks on.
