🌿 Mojito Mint – The Must-Have Herb for Your Summer Garden & Kitchen

If you're dreaming of a refreshing garden-to-glass experience, Mojito Mint (Mentha x villosa) is your answer. This Cuban classic isn’t just for cocktails — it’s a versatile, aromatic herb that enhances everything from fruit salads to herbal teas.

📦 Shipping Info & Size Recommendations

We currently ship 4” size Mojito Mint via UPS Ground. This size is:

  • Ideal for shipping to customers in Florida, the Southeastern US, and Texas
  • Not recommended for distant states during peak heat or cold — while we pack carefully, shipping to Northern or Western states may result in some plant stress or drying.
  • 🌞 The 4” container tends to dry out faster than our larger selections — if 1-gallon or larger sizes are available, we recommend choosing them for better transplant success and longer shipping tolerance.
  • 🛑 We cannot guarantee plant condition upon arrival outside our regional zone due to weather, transit time, and plant sensitivity.

🍃 Why Mojito Mint? The Flavor of the Caribbean, Grown at Home

  • Authentic Cuban Variety: The true mint used in traditional mojitos — sweeter and smoother than spearmint.
  • Soft & Fuzzy Leaves: Great for muddling and holding flavor-rich oils.
  • Gentle Aroma: Less pungent than peppermint or common mints — a more refined garden scent.

🌱 Top Benefits and Uses

  • 🍸 Culinary Uses: Craft mojitos, herbal teas, mint-infused water, fruit salads, and desserts.
  • 🪴 Beautiful in Containers: Cascading habit adds charm to planters and patio gardens.
  • 🌼 Naturally Aromatic: Fresh or dried, this mint adds uplifting scent to your garden or indoor spaces.
  • 🐝 Pollinator-Friendly: Flowers attract beneficial insects.
  • 🫙 Easy to Preserve: Dry leaves for tea blends or potpourri.

🛠 How to Grow Mojito Mint Like a Pro

🪴 Container Growing Strongly Recommended:

  • Use a pot with a 2" recessed rim to contain runners.
  • Let it cascade over the edge, but don’t let it root into the ground.
  • Rotate pots around your garden to enjoy aroma in different zones.

Soil & Watering:

  • Prefers moist, well-drained soil
  • Regular watering is key, especially in hotter climates or when growing in smaller pots.

Light Requirements:

  • Thrives in full sun to partial shade — flexible and easygoing.

Winter Care:

  • Dies back in cold zones but re-sprouts in spring.
  • Add mulch in colder areas or overwinter indoors if container-grown.

🪴 Indoor & Container Growing Tips

  • Use 6–12” or larger containers for vigorous growth.
  • Provide bright indoor light or grow lights if growing inside.
  • Harvest frequently to keep plants lush and full.

⚠️ Cautions

  • Highly spreading if planted directly in the ground — keep contained!
  • Susceptible to aphids indoors — inspect regularly and rinse leaves if needed.

1. Shipping Stress: Transportation can be stressful for plants, particularly when they spend several days in a confined, dark environment. It’s common for plants to experience leaf drop during this period. Rest assured, most plants typically recover quickly and thrive with minimal aftercare. However, some may need extra attention, love, and care, requiring appropriate watering and exposure to gentle light post-unboxing.
 

2. Potential Physical Damage: Despite our dedicated efforts to ensure that your plants are securely packaged, they may incur damage during shipping and handling by UPS. Rest assured, our shipping team is committed to packing your selections with utmost care and precision to minimize any potential harm.

  • For significant box damage, please reach out to UPS within 30 days to initiate a claim.

  • For minor damages, such as a broken branch or stem, we advise allowing the plant time to recover and regenerate with proper care and attention.
     

3. Long-Distance Shipping Considerations: Orders shipped over long distances, particularly to the western US, may take 3 - 5 business days to arrive due to various factors, including agricultural inspections in Arizona, California, and Texas. Such extended transit times can be particularly challenging for tender, young plants, affecting their quality due to prolonged confinement.

  • We take additional measures during packaging to facilitate a swift recovery of the plants upon unboxing.

  • Initial extra care and attention might be required over the first few weeks post-transport.
     

For further guidance, kindly review our detailed policies on returns and refunds, as well as our comprehensive plant care guide. We appreciate your understanding and patience in nurturing your new plants.
