Like most mints, Grapefruit Mint is an easy plant to grow and perfect for novice gardeners who want to start out growing a small herb garden. The plant features slightly furry, deep green leaves with an intoxicating citrus-mint scent. In the late summer or early fall, grapefruit mint shoots up a spike in the middle covered with beautiful lavender flowers. Bees, butterflies, and birds love these blooms, so this plant will bring in wildlife unless you clip off the flowers and use them in bouquets.
