Pineapple Mint is a stunning and aromatic member of the mint family, loved for its decorative foliage and fresh, fruity scent. Its rounded, slightly crinkled leaves are a soft green with creamy white edges, creating a bright and cheerful appearance in any herb garden or container. The plant releases a sweet, apple-like aroma when brushed or crushed—making it just as pleasing to the nose as it is to the eye. In summer, it may produce soft purple-pink flower spikes that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding even more charm to your garden.

 

This mint variety has a spreading, low-to-medium growth habit, reaching around 18 to 24 inches tall and spreading widely if allowed. It is ideal for ground cover, herb spirals, raised beds and large pots, especially in warm, humid climates like the Caribbean. It grows vigorously with the right care and appreciates regular harvesting or trimming to keep it full and tidy. Because of its trailing growth, it's also a favourite for hanging baskets or edging along walkways, where it can gently spill over the sides and release its signature scent when brushed against.

 

The benefits of Pineapple Mint go beyond its beauty. It is a wonderful culinary herb, perfect for adding a refreshing twist to teas, cold drinks, fruit salads and desserts. The leaves also make a soothing herbal tea that can aid digestion and calm the nerves. In addition to its kitchen uses, it's a favourite in natural wellness for facial steams, DIY scrubs or aromatic sachets, bringing both a cooling effect and lovely fragrance. Plus, it’s a great companion plant—its scent can help deter pests from nearby vegetables and herbs.

 

Whether you’re looking for something pretty, practical or pleasantly fragrant, Pineapple Mint is a standout choice for gardeners. Easy to grow and endlessly useful, it’s a perfect plant for beginners and seasoned herbalists alike.
