Product Overview
Hardiness zones 5-9
This fragrant, hardy perennial brings a unique sensory experience to your garden, though its vigorous nature requires a bit of planning. Known botanically as Mentha longifolia, Arabian mint features striking, elongated, silvery-green leaves covered in soft, velvety hairs, producing robust spikes of light purple to lilac flowers that attract a wealth of beneficial pollinators. Often referred to as "Habak" mint in Middle Eastern cuisine, it delivers a distinctly sharp, spearmint-like aroma with sweet undertones, making its freshly picked leaves a traditional choice for brewing authentic mint teas and seasoning fresh dishes. True to the mint family, it features a tenacious root system that spreads very rapidly via underground runners. To prevent it from eagerly taking over your landscape, it is highly recommended to plant it in containers, raised beds, or deep underground borders. Exceptionally cold hardy and resilient down to a zone 5. This fast-growing herb thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires consistently moist, well-drained soil to truly flourish.
