FREE: Peppermint 50+ seeds

The listing, Peppermint 50+ seeds has ended.

This perennial grows to 3 feet tall and spreads rapidly to indefinite widths. The 3 inch smooth, lance-shaped, toothed leaves are tinged with purple around the edges. Oblong terminal spikes of lilac-pink flowers appear all summer. As a general rule, mint family plants root vigorously when allowed to grow freely and can be invasive. Grow them in containers to keep them in check.

Like other mints, peppermint is extremely easy to grow. In fact, it grows so well, it is best to confine it to containers. Grow in almost any soil conditions in sun or part shade, harvesting leaves all season long. Zones 4-9.

Purple-tinged leaves are used in teas and iced drinks.
