Crossword Genius

The plant is in perfect condition (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mint

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the plant' is the first definition.
(mint is a kind of plant)

'perfect condition' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is in' is the link.

(Other definitions for mint that I've seen before include "Plant - in perfect condition" , "Vast sum of money" , "Produce coins" , "Culinary herb" , "Aromatic herb - perfect" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
