Peppermint is a vigorous perennial herb with bright green, serrated leaves and square stems that release a strong, cooling minty aroma when crushed. The leaves have an intense, ref reshing peppermint flavor that is sharper and more cooling than spearmint. It is excellent for fresh or dried teas, mojitos, desserts, sauces, salads, and flavoring lamb or chocolate dishes. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it is very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and thrives in our variable climate and alkaline soils with full sun to partial shade and moderate moisture. It's great for containers. Its fast growth and ability to attract pollinators while providing abundant fresh leaves throughout the season make it a practical and aromatic staple for any home herb garden. Show more
