Mojito Mint, Mentha x villosa, was brought to North America from Cuba about 10 years ago. Up until 2005 or 2006 this mint was rare & hard to get outside of Cuba. Yerba Buena & Mojito Mint are used interchangeably in the popular cocktail, particularly in Havanna, because they have a similar flavor. They’re both in the same family by the way.

+ This mint, rather than spearmint, gives the authentic mojito taste. Mojito Mint has a much milder flavor with hints of citrus whereas spearmint is much stronger (think breath mints or chewing gum). Mojito Mint has large leaves which make it great for muddling.

+ This leads us right into the fact that it’s best to grow mint in a container, unless you want it to take over.

+ Mint like regular moisture & doesn’t like to go dry. Conversely, it’s not a bog plant so make sure the water drains out.

+ Mojito Mint will burn in strong, hot sun.
