The Lemon Mint: The Fresh Sun Lover

Mint comes in over 30 different varieties. Many of these have naturally occurred, while others have been specifically bred. Through further breeding of the plant, the variety continues to expand with new flavors such as lemon, strawberry, and orange.

Particularly aromatic is the Lemon Mint. It exudes a unique lemon fragrance and brings freshness to every room, balcony, or garden. No wonder, then, that this mint is a must-have!

The mint with the aroma of lemon is a true addition to any kitchen. On one hand, it exudes an incredibly fresh lemon scent and looks decorative with its delicate leaves when placed on a windowsill. But more importantly, the mint enhances almost any dish. Whether it's fish, meat, or vegetables, lemon mint complements nearly every recipe! The leaves of the plant are also perfect for salads, desserts, or drinks like teas and lemonades.

Lemon mint has even more to offer. In herbal medicine, its use mainly helps to reduce inflammation, relieve cramps, lower fever, and provide a cooling effect. While it may seem hard to believe that a mint with the aroma of a lemon can calm the mind, it truly does have this effect. In addition, lemon mint has a revitalizing effect on the heart.

Having lemon mint in the garden or on the balcony requires minimal effort. The plant is quite undemanding and very low-maintenance. However, the mint with the lemon aroma has a strong presence: it tends to overpower other plants in the garden and should therefore be monitored. Lemon mint can grow up to 90 centimeters tall, prefers a sunny spot, but doesn't require excessive watering.
