Small, spring plants ready for potting in the greenhouse, which have been
dug up recently from our peppermint, herb garden area.
Mint
likes partial shade and room to spread! We
grow this peppermint along shady borders of the herb garden area. |
A hardy perennial, which can grow two to three feet tall, including the
flowering spikes. The leaves are a moss green color of this
heirloom type grown here at the farm. It grows pale, lilac flowers in
the summer around late July if not clipped down.
This mint plant has a strong aroma of peppermint. Mint is also used for
medicinal use and flavoring purposes. This plant will spread underground
by growing root shoots in early spring and the plants can become
prolific.
We use the fresh mint leaves as a
flavoring in beverages and the dry leaves in hot teas in the wintertime.
We also may add some stalks in flower arrangements for the wonderful
smell in the house!
