Mint, Variegated Peppermint
Mentha X piperita
Beautiful, creamy variegation, tightly compact, highly fragrant and flavorful - what more could you want in this lovely peppermint variety. It's hardy and easy to grow, and not too fussy about soil either. Peppermint is most excellent for tea and candy because it has a sweeter scent than other mints, but it can still be used in savory dishes. Click here for great mint recipes!
Growing Tips Confine to a small area, because peppermint has invasive tendencies, like most mints. Prefers full sun, or partial shade with free-draining soil or compost.
