Piccolo Moroccan Spearmint Seeds

Moroccan Mint (Mentha spicata var. crispa) is a compact, beautifully fragrant variety that’s as useful as it is decorative. Perfect for pots and borders, its fresh leaves can be used to flavour dishes, infuse teas or simply release a cooling scent across your patio on warm days.

Best known for its role in traditional Moroccan mint tea — a drink rooted in hospitality and ritual — this fast-growing herb is easy to care for and ready to harvest in just a few weeks.
