Peppermint, or Mentha piperita, is the perfect complement to any herb garden! It reaches 24 inches tall and has pink blooms in the summer. Peppermint is easy to identify by its dark green to nearly purplish colored leaves with pointed tips, distinct veins, and toothed edges. It is wonderfully fragrant and provides a cool fresh scent that catches in the summer breezes. Peppermint spreads by sending out runners, so if you do not want it spreading, plant it in a container. Sow Peppermint seeds indoors in early spring, or wait until after danger of frost has passed and sow the seed outdoors. Peppermint likes rich, moist soil, and the seed needs to be covered 1/8 of an inch. At temperatures of 70F, Peppermint seed germinates in normally 15 days.
