Mint Peppermint 100mm

Mint Peppermint is a highly aromatic perennial herb, prized for its cooling, refreshing flavour and versatile culinary and medicinal uses. The dark green, slightly serrated leaves release a strong menthol fragrance when crushed, making it ideal for teas, desserts, sauces, and cocktails. Peppermint is also valued for its soothing properties, often used in herbal remedies and calming teas.

A vigorous grower, peppermint thrives in moist, rich soils and is best grown in pots or contained garden spaces to prevent spreading. In summer, it produces attractive spikes of soft lilac to purple flowers, which draw bees, butterflies, and other pollinators into the garden.

Tip: For the best flavour, harvest leaves in the morning before the sun gets too strong, and keep the plant trimmed to encourage lush, bushy growth.
