A fresh, aromatic herb valued for its vigorous growth and intensely fragrant foliage.
Bold, fresh and wonderfully aromatic, Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) brings year-round culinary usefulness and garden charm to borders, kitchen plots and containers. Its glossy, serrated green leaves release a cooling menthol scent when touched, while slender summer flower spikes add soft seasonal colour. Highly productive and beautifully fragrant, it’s an essential herb for any kitchen garden.
Each plant is supplied as a strong, fully established 1L rootball grown in premium peat-free compost, offering immediate garden readiness and dependable performance. Naturally hardy and vigorous, Peppermint thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full sun.
