Peppermint is a refreshing perennial herb known for its scent and culinary versatility. It forms a lush green mat of aromatic leaves and produces small spikes of pale purple to white flowers in mid to late summer. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil.  As with any mint, it’s best to plant in a container to control spread.  If planted in-ground, it will take over the area.

Size: 12-24″ tall and spreads vigorously via underground runners
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: Zones 3-8

Peppermint may die back in the extreme heat of our summers but will return when weather cools some.
