{"product_id":"herb-mint-swiss","title":"Mint 'Swiss'","description":"\u003cp\u003eMint 'Swiss' is a popular perennial herb, highly regarded for its exceptionally smooth and refreshing flavour. The primary part used for its culinary value is its bright green leaves, which provide a uniquely clean, sweet spearmint taste that is milder and less sharp than many other mint varieties. This specific flavour profile makes it the classic choice for brewing into 'Swiss' herbal tea, but it is also excellent in fruit salads, desserts, and cocktails. The plant's attractive, small lilac-pink flowers are also edible and can be used as a garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, spreading perennial that is very 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. It is crucial to remember that this plant is 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.\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":55174795624782,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINSWI_8CM","price":6.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1L pot","offer_id":55174795657550,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINSWI_13CM","price":8.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00-GardenersDream-Herbs-Mint-Swiss.jpg?v=1768323922","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/herb-mint-swiss","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
