Peppermint isn't just a flavour that food scientists love to emulate, it's also an ancient medicinal herb that's great for tummy troubles and even colds and flu. Apart from that, you can use it for many of the same things you'd use regular mint, but do remember that it has a sharper flavour! When in flower, it's very attractive indeed, so feel free to add it to your flower garden. Plant it where people will brush against it when moving around your garden and add an extra delight for the senses.

Growing Information
How to Sow
As a member of the mint family, peppermint likes to be kept moist. Sow it quite shallowly and keep moist until the seeds germinate. Although it can be sown direct, you will get better control over the germination environment in containers.
How to Harvest
Pinch out young tips as needed. If your plants get too leggy, cut them back hard.
