The peppermint plant produces small mauve blooms and has lovely, fragrant leaves that are a dark green and have serrations. It has a bold flavour, so use it with caution; it works particularly well in tea infusions, puddings, and chocolate mousse. It is in the plant's best interest to have the blossoms removed as soon as they appear because this will maximise the amount of leaves that are produced.

As an invasive plant, peppermint can reach a height of 60 centimetres and can spread indefinitely. It is recommended to plant it in a container first, because this will help prevent it from growing uncontrollably, and then plant the container itself into the soil. This will help restrict its spread; re-pot it when it becomes essential. A container is all that is required to store it safely.

It is a hardy herbaceous perennial that dies back each autumn and regrows the following spring; providing it with some mulch in the fall will assist it in making it through the winter. Plant it close to brassicas because its potent odour drives away a wide variety of pests, making it an effective companion plant.
