Hot Topics
It's always worth having a read through our Hot Topics as we cover many different subjects here; gardening and otherwise, funny and serious.
Hot Topics is like our Chat area and if you have an interesting Scented Geranium story please email to us and we'll try and include it.
Large, soft velvety green leaves, chocolate brown blotch in centre, subtle peppermint scent
Tomentosum Chocolate Mint
Scent/aroma: peppermint, reminds us of After Eight Mints
Leaf: green with chocolate brown blotches, deeply divided, soft and velvety to the touch, medium to large
Flower: pale pink with purple feathering to upper petals
Growing Habit: low growing with a sprawling habit, semi-trailing branches, large plant, Ht. up to 12" x 36" spread
Other Info: Species Tomentosum - Cultivar Chocolate Mint. Excellent in large containers, hanging baskets and ideal ground cover during summer months. If growing inside, at maturity requires a large pot or container. Thin out centre and underneath to prevent leaf debris build up. Contrary to some of our Customers'wishful thinking it does not smell of chocolate!
Annie and Guy's Comments: Both Tomentosum Chocolate and Peppermint make large plants very quickly. Chocolate's peppermint fragrance is more subtle than Peppermint although both are distinct. Excellent for making peppermint herbal teas - infuse the leaves in hot water for a few minutes. Mint tea is relaxing, soothing and aids sleep.

Some of the Scenteds do make very large plants, however, by regular pruning and by carefully trimming the roots back occasionally you will be able to keep any of the types to a manageable size for indoors.
