Very desirable herb garden addition also looks great in any bed, border or container. The dry leaves can be used for tea. Popular for sachets and potpourri. Wash fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly before eating. |
Peppermint is very easy to grow, and is useful for both the landscape and the kitchen! The highly aromatic leaves are nice for flavoring teas, iced drinks and salads. Makes a fabulous instant breath freshener just by chewing a leaf! It is best to grow this vigorous plant in containers on the patio or a sunny windowsill to keep it from spreading. Bees and butterflies love this plant.
