-Peppermint Plant-

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is considered an invasive species in some regions, as it spreads uncontrollably. To prevent it from taking over your garden, grow it in containers or use physical barriers to limit its root expansion.

You can use peppermint leaves to brew a refreshing tea, add flavor to various products, soothe skin irritation, and alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

Peppermint requires consistently moist soil, partial shade, and can be propagated through stem cuttings or root division. Remember to harvest peppermint in the morning with clean, sharp scissors or garden shears.
