Spearmint is a vigorous perennial herb with bright green, serrated leaves and square stems that release a sweet, refreshing minty aroma when crushed. The flavor is milder and sweet er than peppermint, with a bright, cooling quality. It is excellent for fresh or dried teas, mojitos, salads, sauces, lamb dishes, and desserts. 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 abundant growth and classic mint flavor make it a versatile kitchen staple that provides fresh leaves all season long while attracting beneficial pollinators. Show more
