Mojito Mint

Does anybody on here have authentic mojito mint? I'm thinking of ordering some from Richters but I have no use for 6 plants and hate to pay for them plus shipping. I"ve heard however that it's alot better then the plain mint plants.

now if anybody nearby wants to split a six pack of this mint I"d gladly order it.

I ordered six plants last summer...they really aren't
that big - just sprouts. I planted them ouside on
the deck in an area that was protected, yet had good
sun. They did well, and they did make a small difference
in the taste of the Mojito...until...the ants, squirrels, rabbits,
and all other manner of critters took a liking to mint!!

I didn't want to be spraying them with anything, so I salvaged what I
could and took them in the house...they died

Occasionally I get a little sprout coming up outside,
but it gets munched before it can grow, so I think the roots are pretty strong.
I think this summer I will stick to buying my mint already grown
and healthy!
Hope this helps in your decision

I will be growing it in a container on my balcony. Mint can get out of hand no matter what you do. I keep thinking that the stuff in the grocery store has pesticides too.

I think a balcony will be much better...
and in a container will help keep it under
control when it gets happy.
It did take a while to get the plants since it
comes from Canada...Mojito mint is "Cuban"

so it can't be sold in the US...contraband herbs, you know!!

maybe not.. Mint is a strong thing..
In Idaho they grow it in huge fields..
they have to wear gear..
the juice can burn on contact..
