Mentha Australis 'Tucker Bush™ River Mint' (River Mint) is a fragrant Australian native herb valued for its aromatic foliage, culinary versatility, and attractive spreading habit. The fresh green leaves release a refreshing mint aroma when crushed and are widely used in teas, desserts, sauces, salads, and savoury dishes. During the warmer months, clusters of small mauve to white flowers add ornamental appeal while attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.

Easy to grow and highly adaptable, Mentha Australis 'Tucker Bush™ River Mint' (River Mint) thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is ideal for herb gardens, edible landscapes, containers, and around ponds or water features. Its low-growing, spreading habit provides excellent ground cover while supplying a continual harvest of fresh leaves. Combining ornamental beauty with bush food value, this Australian native is an excellent addition to productive gardens.
