Herb Spearmint Mentha Spicata

A highly aromatic, spreading plant with dark-green, sweetly aromatic spearmint leaves which can be extensively used as garnishes and flavouring.

This perennial grows to 3 feet tall and spreads rapidly. The 2-3 inch lance-shaped leaves are a unique wrinkled texture.

Oblong terminal spikes of lilac-pink to white flowers appear all summer, which attract bees and butterflies alike.
