My #wintergarden is full of #seedheads like this #applemint which still smells good! #noweygardens

I leave some sections of applemint in the fall to provide food sources in my garden during the winter months too. #applemint #noweygardens

Among my #favoriteplants to grow and watch are these stately #applemint with their #frosted tops and their fresh #applescent

The #applemint is quite attractive to the #pollinators #bees

When the rain comes, stay where you are! #wet #bee #pollinator #applemint #rain #noweygardens

One of my favorite garden plants and that few have ever heard of or seen is applemint. It grows 3-4" tall with layers of bright green leaves topped with soft light green leaves and a button of flowers. #applemint #mint #fragrant #bee-friendly #pollinators #noweygardens

I've heard of It! Don't have any tho. I have spearmint, peppermint, chocolate, and orange mint. 😊 I use alot of it in my weekly batches of suntea

@lesliecole49 it smells like apples and looks so different than other mints! Great idea with the suntea! I use the stems & flowers in fragrant arrangements for months (great for fall) and I use it in body salt scrubs.

Yes, I like to make some flavored cooking salt with my herbs too but this year all my herb seeds failed! So, probly not going to make any this year

I enjoy the way this #applemint grows tall and #mintyfresh #green

One of #myfavoritescents is from this unique mint. This #applemint grows to 3 feet tall with large bright green lower leaves and topped by frosted green leaves and small white flowers. Dries beautifully for fragrant displays.

#Applemint attracts every flying thing to #mygardens

Iced applemint tops

Oh wow, is this recent?

@SylviaDavies yes! It was from one week ago - a surprise nor'easter and cold freeze.

Many types of bees 🐝🐝🐝 visiting. I'd like I need to learn more about the different flying insects in this garden. I'm told the big shiny bottomed bee is a wood-burrowing carpenter bee :( uh oh

yes, they are bad bad bees! they eat the wood and make holes

A new visitor to my still-flowering applemint! #butterfly #wildlifewednesday

@jennilm nice looking red admiral butterfly. I like the underside too, it is so patriotic.

The tops of the applemint have a distinctive frosted look.

Busy bees love the #applemint

The frosted top leaves of apple mint. Standing about 30" tall. Sweet apple fragrance.

Is it edible?

Yes, apple mint edible! @uaskigyrl

Oooh, now there are so many ideas running through my head. I may have to grow it next year lol

Apple mint?
