Herb Mint Mojito (also known as Mentha x Villosa or Hairymint) is a hybrid of Mentha x Spicata and Mentha x Suaveolens native to Cuba. This variety offers a warmer, milder fragrance and flavor than the related Spearmint, Kentucky Colonel, or Mint Pineapple. It is typically grown in containers, herb gardens, or borders. Its most common use is in the Cuban twist on the Mint Julep, the Mojito; while many recipes call for any spearmint variety, Mojito Mint makes the most authentic drink. It grows in full sun to partial shade and will flourish and spread with little more than regular water. It blooms with pink flowers in late summer and is hardy zone 5-9.

Mint Mojito Selling Tips

Sell Mint Mojito to your customers who are looking for a more mild mint variety, or to grow their own mint for Mojitos. This hybrid variety is classic for a Mojito and can also be used as a milder mint in other culinary applications. It is a great low-mainteance groundcover or addition to the herb garden or patio containers. It grows well in partial shade or full sun and requires little care. For a complete mint selection in the herb garden, offer your customers Herb Mint Peppermint, Herb Mint Spearmint, and Herb Mint Pineapple in addition to Mojito.

Coach Your Customer

1. Plant 8-12 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Use one plant per 2 gallon or larger container. Mint will spread indefinitely underground. Plant it in a pot and then the pot in the ground to mitigate spread, or dig up any new shoots each season.

2. Water regularly. Give a light fertilizer once in spring.

3. Mint foliage offers the best fragrance and flavor prior to the plant blooming. Dry or freeze leaves to preserve them for later use.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Mint Mojito, use a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N on well rooted plants. A pH between 5.8 and 6.2 is important for the healthiest plant color. In most cases, an additional supplement of iron is recommended in order to deepen the coloration of the foliage.

Pinching

We recommend that you pinch Mint Mojito 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. Growing herbs at cooler temperatures will help to keep the plants short and bushy.

Spacing

Space 4-inch, 6-inch, and gallon pots as needed to allow air flow and penetration of light between plants. Mint Mojito can grow to a 24" spread. We do not recommend planting them in 1801 or other traditional market trays as they tend to get leggy and have the potential for fungus problems when planted too close together.

Height Control

Plant growth regulators are not recommended on herbs.

Pests

Whiteflies, aphids, and occasionally mealybugs are all insects to watch out for with Mint Mojito.

Disease

Mint Mojito is not prone to many diseases, but don't oversaturate the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil for an extended amount of time, you could end up with root rot, botrytis or a bacterial blight. Botrytis grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. To best fight root rot in herbs, look for an organic or garden-safe fungicide, like Neem Oil.

Planting Mint Mojito Liners

If you are planting 4" pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient. We recommend at least 3 starters per pot for 6" and larger. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation of rooted cuttings. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
