Mint Korean is a hardy, perennial, aromatic herb from East Asia. The plants are sturdy and upright and do not need staking, growing 90cm tall with a spread of 45cm.

The aromatic leaves can be sprinkled in salads, used to decorate cakes, make tea or floated in drinks. Added to your Pimm’s lifts it to a higher sphere altogether.

Known as Baechohyang or Banga in South Korea, this plant is added fresh to stews or in pancakes.

The toothed leaves taste like spearmint and licorice and help with digestion when taken as a tea.

Tall, upright stems with bluish-purple flower spikes make this an excellent cut flower. When brushed past or crushed, the foliage emits a sweet liquorice perfume.

A wonderful plant for attracting bees and butterflies to the garden, while adding a robust perennial to the border in the summer months.

A ‘wonder honey plant’, it produces copious amounts of nectar for bees and butterflies to feast upon. It is an important crop for commercial honey production, it is estimated that just one acre can support over 100 hives.

Because of its later season and prolific flowering, it is a boon for building up bees’ honey reserves before winter and will produce a honey surplus where drifts are grown.

These easy-to-grow and easy to care for plants enjoy dry soils and sunny positions.
