Peppermint (_Mentha x piperita_) is a classic, aromatic perennial herb perfect for culinary uses and traditional remedies. This plant features fragrant, toothed leaves on dark stems, growing 1–3 feet tall and blooming with lovely lilac-pink flowers in mid-summer. Its fresh leaves are excellent for flavoring drinks and teas, while its rhizomatous root system means it spreads readily. Container planting or a dedicated garden space is recommended for this versatile herb. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.
