Peppermint leaves provide a burst of cool flavor, something especially appreciated during the hot summer months! This well-loved herb is strongly aromatic, its fragrance irresistible when added to teas and potpourris, and its flavor unmistakable in candies, salads, and cold drinks! Peppermint, like all mints, is very easy to grow, thriving in containers or spreading readily in the garden. It grows to 3' tall, with 3," lance-shaped, toothed, purple-tinted leaves. All summer long, the scented foliage is topped with lilac-pink flower spikes! Enjoy!
