DummenSummary:
A distinctive cultivar with dark apricot pink and red flecked bracts – possibly the darkest peppermint available. The strongly upright bracts present a very different look. Plants are medium vigor and sturdy, allowing for easy sleeving. The foliage is dark green and plants flowered mid-season.| Color | Vigor | Timing |
