Peppermint is a perennial herb valued for its fresh, cool flavor and aroma. Known for its vigorous spreading habit, it thrives in full sun and moist, fertile soil. The plant produces pointed, aromatic green leaves and small lilac-pink flowers that attract bees and pollinators. Peppermint is widely used in cooking, teas, and traditional remedies for digestion and sinus relief.
