Good variety of mint?

[blue411]

Does anyone know of a good herb supplier, i'd really like to grow different types of mint this year and all i can get hold of is just plain mint, i really like the idea of chocolate mint, banana mint etc.... any recommendations guys?

Try Nickys seeds, they have loads of stuff

And do try apple mint. Great as a mint sauce or jelly and general culinary use.

jekkssherbfarm, is the only place i can find banana mint, and you have to make an order of over £15 for them to post out to you,
i have
chocolate,
grapefruit,
orange
pineapple
ginger

all mints,
and i have taken cuttings from them, if you want i can post you the ones that have taken well,
i have also been after the banana mint, but not quite willing to pay over 15quid

Thompson and Morgan do a variety pack of mint plants for about £6-7, I've ordered them and they will arrive in the spring for outdoor planting. I can't remember exactly what they have, but it's something like pineapple mint, apple mint, purple mint, etc. I'm looking forward to trying them all.

I have a few mints also, not the banana one though, will have to get that one! Have apple, pineapple, standard garden, chocolate, spearmint, don't mind swapping a few cuttings in Spring if anyone is interested?

I regularly send people tearings [rather than cuttings] of my mints...chocolate mint seems to be the favourite. Remind me in the spring if anyone wants any - we usually chop it back around April time.

Hi, what do you mean by tearings?

We just pull them off the plant and bag them up.

i tend to walk past a mint plant i fancy, steal a bit, pop into water, let it root and hey presto! interesting mint plants for free

but that is very wrong and illegal and i am bad.

Make sure you keep them in pots or they will take over the planet.

You're not alone

If you keep a couple of plastic bags in your pocket(just in case and by accident),you could hypothetically place a cutting in the bag,blow in the bag then seal it,the moisture from your breath prolongs the life of the cutting..........allegedly!!!

[Jenegade]

Are mint really that easy to grow from cutting? Was going to take a cutting of my mums mint plant in spring, can you just cut off any part of the plant?

I like the sound of the different varieties!

Try ripping a bit up from the soil- it's bound to have a few roots on- and if not, it soon will if you stand it in a glass of water on the windowsill for a week or so
