Shout Out For Orange Mint!

Help! My supplier for orange mint plant does not have it this year!

If you've ever made your mojitos with orange mint, you will not want to use any other.

I live by Montrose/Sheridan and work in the Loop. Can meet there or somewhere in between. Will pay fair price.

Thanks!

Try Gethsemane on Clark and Ashland. As far as I know the best stocked garden center on the North Side

Maybe you could grow it yourself: http://www.tastefulgarden.com/store/pc/Mint-Orange-2p23.htm#details

Seems like the type of plant that wouldn't be that hard to take care of, and if you don't have a yard maybe just grow it in a pot on a windowsill? Maybe Garfield Conservatory or the Chicago Botanic Garden could help you out by selling you a small plant since mint is a very prolific? Just wanting to help with some ideas. Good luck!
