How to identify Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Peppermint is characterized by its vibrant green, crinkled leaves that emit a strong scent upon being crushed. This trailing plant flourishes in full to partial sunlight and thrives in moist soil conditions or at the water’s edge. It bears tiny, pale lavender flowers grouped tightly in upright spikes that extend above the leafy vegetation. It can be pruned often to promote a bushier growth habit and is capable of withstanding cold temperatures down to less than 14°F (-10°C). Peppermint is well-suited for container cultivation as well.
