The variegated pineapple mint has beautiful green with white spotted leaves
CULTIVATION TIPS:
The variegated pineapple mint is perennial, hardy and grows in both sun and partial shade. The plant prefers a moist, but well-drained, humus-rich soil.Mint is a weedy plant. It is therefore advisable to grow it in a pot or tub, which you may then bury in the ground
The plant attracts bees to the garden with its wonderful aroma.
USES:
Pied pineapple mint has a fruity aroma. We can use the leaves as an (edible) decoration of different desserts, especially desserts with fruit, ice cream and chocolate. We can also make tea from variegated pineapple mint or add some of the leaves to salads.
Mint tea is good for digestion. It dispels indigestion, flatulence and cramps. Mint tea also eliminates nausea. We make mint tea by steeping 5 leaves for 10 minutes in a cup of boiled water.
Note: mint should not be given to children for more than one week continuously and never to babies! Vaporizing with mint is good against nasal congestion.
