Description: A fragrant, refreshing and popular perennial herb. Very easy to grow! Peppermint grows great in moist, part-sun to shaded locations and expands by underground rhizomes. It is a notoriously rampant grower, so considering growing in containers to restrict the roots! Fun fact, did you know the name “mint” comes from the name Minthe (or Menthe), a water Nymph in Greek Mythology who presides over the river of the underworld?
