The peppermint plant produces fragrant leaves and bold flavour, best planted in a container to control its invasive growth. Use its leaves for tea, puddings, and chocolate mousse and add mulch in autumn to help it survive the winter. Its strong scent also repels pests, making it a useful companion plant for brassicas.
