{"product_id":"herb-mint-red","title":"Mint 'Red'","description":"\u003cp\u003eMint 'Red' is a popular perennial herb, famously prized for its attractive, dark reddish-purple stems which contrast beautifully with its green leaves. The primary part used for its culinary value is its aromatic leaves, which provide a strong, classic spearmint flavour, often considered one of the best for making traditional mint sauces and jellies. However, its edibility doesn't stop there; the attractive, small lilac-pink flowers that appear in spikes are also edible and make a lovely garnish for drinks and desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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, as it does not like to dry out. A critical maintenance point is that this mint is highly invasive, so it must be planted in a container or with root barriers to prevent it from spreading. As an added benefit, its attractive flowers are known to be very popular with pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GardenersDream","offers":[{"title":"8cm pot","offer_id":55174795493710,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINRED_8CM","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1L pot","offer_id":55174795526478,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINRED_13CM","price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00-GardenersDream-Herbs-Mint-Red.jpg?v=1768324312","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/herb-mint-red","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
