Peppermint
Latin Name: Mentha x Piperita
Peppermint is a fragrant herb with a strong, sweet aroma and a refreshing, cooling flavor. Its dark green leaves and clusters of pink flowers make it both attractive and useful in the garden. The leaves are popular in teas, desserts, salads, and other culinary dishes, while the flowers can be dried for flavoring and herbal uses. Peppermint thrives with regular pruning, which encourages dense, healthy growth. Remove dead stems to improve air circulation, and trim plants after flowering or in early spring to maintain their shape.
