Cuban mint (Mentha × villosa), famously known as mojito mint, is the traditional mint used in authentic Cuban mojitos. It has a milder, sweeter flavor with less menthol punch than peppermint or spearmint, and large, fuzzy, bright green leaves on vigorous, spreading stems.
Plant in containers to control its aggressive runners. Prefers partial shade and moist, rich soil. Harvest leaves frequently to encourage bushy growth. Essential for mojitos, mint juleps, and iced tea. Also delicious in fruit salads, yogurt sauces, and Middle Eastern dishes. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9.
