Mentha arvensis Banana Mint

Banana Mint and Eau de Cologne work well together

 

The little wagon shows the lovely chartreuse foliage of the Banana Mint offsetting the dark reddish green of Orange Mint. Like all mints, Banana Mint, should be confined to a pot. Mints grow better in pots with lots of surface area rather than lots of depth. Our 14 inch Terra Roma Bowl makes a great mint planter, at least for the first year. After that, your mint will need to be divided and repotted with fresh soil each spring  

This really should be a scratch and sniff picture. At first you are not quite sure it is Banana and then it hits your olfactory and, wow, pure Banana!!!
