Pruning mojito mint — FAQ
When should I prune mojito mint?
Pinch tips from late spring onward; cut back hard in midsummer and again in early autumn. Pinch or snip the top pair of leaves from each stem to encourage branching. When stems become tall and start to flower, cut the whole plant back to 3 inches above soil level to reset vigorous, leafy regrowth.

Frequent tip pinching throughout the growing season; cut back hard twice per season. Mojito mint is a vigorous hybrid that grows fast and benefits from regular cutting to stay bushy and flavorful. Pinch out growing tips frequently to delay flowering and encourage branching. Cut plants back to a few inches above the soil in midsummer and again in autumn. Grow in containers to control its spreading habit.
