Canada mint (Mentha arvensis subsp. borealis, syn. Mentha canadensis) is the only native mint in North America. This perennial plant has aromatic green foliage on square stems characteristic of the Lamiaceae family, and produces purple or pink flowers arranged in small spheres in the leaf axils. Very versatile in cooking, it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. However, due to its invasive nature, it is advisable to grow it in buried containers or pots to limit its spread. Canada mint is also an excellent choice for greening riparian strips in Quebec, where it can help stabilize soils.

Medicinal and Culinary Uses
Canada mint has important medicinal properties. Its leaves are digestive, carminative, stimulating, and slightly antispasmodic. In infusion, they are used to soothe stomach aches, aid digestion, and relieve bloating. Canada mint is also known for its refreshing and stimulating effects, making it an ally against cold symptoms and mild headaches. In cooking, its fresh leaves bring a minty flavor to various preparations, from salads to desserts, as well as infusions and sauces.
Ecological Roles
Canada mint is very popular with pollinators, such as bees, who are attracted to its nectar-rich flowers. It plays an important ecological role, particularly in riparian strips, where it helps stabilize soils and prevent erosion while providing food resources for local insects. By growing this native mint in gardens or naturalistic landscapes, local biodiversity is supported, and the many benefits of the plant are enjoyed.
Canada mint seeds benefit from cold stratification to improve their germination rate. See the growing notes below for more details.
