Description
Peppermint is a fresh, strong mint with dark green leaves and a cool taste. It grows fast and works well in pots, tea, drinks, and simple recipes.
How to Grow Peppermint
Give peppermint sun or part shade. Keep the soil moist, but do not leave the roots in standing water. A pot is a good choice because mint can spread fast. Our guide to growing herbs indoors has more tips for pots, light, and watering.
Trim the stems often to keep the plant full. Pick leaves as you need them. For more easy ways to grow herbs in small spaces, see our herb garden ideas.
Using Peppermint
Use fresh leaves in tea, cold drinks, fruit, and desserts. Start with a few leaves and add more to taste. For a milder mint flavor, see our Spearmint.
Simple Care
- Light: Sun to part shade.
