Mint ‘Tashkent Curled’

Mint ‘Tashkent Curled’ is a popular perennial herb, highly prized for its unique ornamental foliage and rich flavour. The primary part used for its culinary value is its distinctively curled and wavy leaves, which provide a strong, sweet spearmint flavour. This excellent flavour makes it a top choice for brewing fresh tea, creating mint sauces and jellies, or using as an aromatic garnish. The plant’s attractive, small lilac-pink flowers that appear in spikes are also edible.

When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, spreading perennial that is extremely adaptable. It is not fussy about its light conditions and will thrive in locations with either full sun or partial shade. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is kept consistently moist. A critical maintenance point is that all mints are highly invasive, so it must be planted in a container or with root barriers to prevent it from taking over. As an added benefit, its attractive flowers are known to be very popular with pollinators.
