Mint Week Day 2 - Lime Mint

7/9/2013

 
Mint Week - Lime Mint - on the Blue Heron Herbary Blog
Lime Mint is a wonderful addition to your garden, your summer meals and drinks. As with all mints, it's best to plant in containers as it can spread fast. However, if you need ground cover, mint is a great choice, since just a brush against it brings up the lovely scent.

Lime mint is what you might expect - minty and limey - although, surprisingly,  the lime is stronger than the mint. This is the perfect mint for cocktails like Mojitos, Gimlets and it's great in Iced Tea. Lime mint is also a terrific addition to fish tacos and it adds a special zip to your guacamole.

Lime Mint and it's uses - at Blue Heron Herbary
Like many varieties of mint, Lime mint is often used for pest control in gardens due to its ability to attract beneficial insects such as butterflies and bees and detract harmful insects such as aphids, fleas and ants. 

We have Lime Mint plants along with many other types available at the Herbary (open Fri-Sun 10-5pm) and at the Farmers Markets.

Come by and get some Lime Mint for your drinks this weekend. It'll be just what you need.
