Mentha x piperita f. citrata 'Chocolate'

I finally replaced my Chocolate Mint. #chocolatemint #mint #mentha #chocolate #herb #gyo #southerncalifornia 8 July 2022

Mmmmmm, #fragrant

Keep it contained!! My Apple mint, chocolate mint and spearmint have taken over an entire section of my garden. But it smells good!

Really good in sun tea

My favorite 🥰 it's like an Andis mint in a plant lol

@emch thank you for the tag.

@camilio81 - Yes, I learned the hard way with my first mint. 😂 I will have them in large pots to let them flourish.

Good to know. 🙂 @lesliecole49

@apomwo, yes. I like to suck on a leaf when I garden. It is refreshing.

And beware ants @lovestogarden ! A colony of ants ate ALL my chocolate mint, previously growing luxuriantly in a half barrel. I thought nothing could kill it but I was so wrong!

Thank you @emch. Good to know.

Wow Eileen, @emch I had no idea

Thought I had killed this, but so glad it came back. #newgrowth #mint #chocolate-mint #chocolatemint #menthaxpiperita #gyo #herb #southerncalifornia 17 April 2020

Awesome Janice! I like to put a handful of this in the jar when I make sun tea.

That sounds yummy! Now that she is on her way back, I will have to try that. @lesliecole49 thank you. 😎

It gives the tea a smooth flavor with just a hint of chocolate at the end.... sounds so epicurean doesn't it! Lol

😂 I love it! ☕😋 @lesliecole49

Smells so good. #chocolatemint #scented #scent #herb #mentha

@lovestogarden It smells delicious and I have mine in a huge pot.

I will keep mine in a pot too. I learned the hard way with my other mint, that mint is VERY invasive if not potted.

Thank you @cyndi. I agree that the scent is a definite.
