Moroccan spearmint is beloved around the world for its gentle sweetness and smooth mint flavor, especially in traditional mint teas. Its dark green, softly toothed leaves are aromatic and flavorful, yet milder than many other spearmint varieties.
This mint spreads by underground stems, as most mints do, making it a vigorous and reliable grower. For easy management, it’s best grown in containers, pots, or garden boxes, where it stays productive without taking over.
Whether you’re growing it for daily tea, fresh garnishes, or simple desserts, Moroccan spearmint is one of the most pleasant and versatile mints you can plant.

When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.
