Produktbeschreibung

Peppermint Common is a vigorous and pervasive herb cultivated primarily for the sharp, cooling menthol sensation found in its dark green, purple-tinged leaves. This potent flavour, which is refreshing and intensely aromatic, is released immediately upon steeping or crushing the foliage. It is traditionally used as a soothing herbal tea to aid digestion, as well as a key flavouring for chocolates, candies, and summer cocktails, where its clean "bite" cuts through sweetness.

This plant is typically grown as a hardy perennial that spreads aggressively via underground runners, earning it a reputation as a garden "thug" if left unchecked. It is extremely tough and frost-tolerant, dying back in winter only to return with vigour in the spring. For the best results and lush foliage, plant it in a location with partial shade, though it tolerates sun well if kept damp. It is not drought-tolerant and thrives in fertile, rich soil that is kept consistently moist through regular watering.
