Mentha x piperita

Peppermint is a well-loved herb known for its refreshing aroma and wide range of uses, from cooking to home remedies. At The Growers Exchange, we’re excited to offer high-quality peppermint plants that make a perfect addition to any herb garden. Read on to learn more about this versatile plant.

What Is Peppermint?

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. It is loved for its aromatic leaves and widespread use in culinary dishes, teas, and home remedies. The menthol in the leaves gives peppermint its signature cooling sensation.

Known for its refreshing scent, peppermint evokes sweet memories, especially the nostalgic aroma of candy canes. Just a whiff of its crisp fragrance can transport you back in time, making it one of the most powerful memory triggers among herbs.

Peppermint Appearance and Characteristics

Peppermint typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall with square stems and lance-shaped, serrated leaves. The leaves are deep green with a hint of purple, and the plant blooms with small, pale purple flowers in late summer. Its fragrant aroma is most potent when the leaves are crushed or bruised, releasing the refreshing scent of menthol.

Peppermint Origins and History

Peppermint's rich history dates back to at least 1500 B.C. when ancient cultures began cultivating it for food and herbal remedies. Thought to have originated in Northern Africa or the Mediterranean, the name "peppermint" comes from Greek mythology. 

According to legend, Hades fell in love with a nymph named Minthe. When his wife learned of their affair, she transformed Minthe into a plant that grew abundantly and was often overlooked.

Hades modified the curse to ease her punishment, giving Minthe a sweet, soothing aroma so that anyone who walked over her would remember her.

Interestingly, archaeologists discovered dried peppermint leaves in ancient Egyptian pyramids dating back 3,000 years. The oil from these leaves was highly valued, and rulers believed it would accompany them into the afterlife.

In ancient Rome, peppermint was frequently used to flavor special dishes at feasts and added to sauces and wines. It was often displayed on dining tables, and noblemen would braid its long stems into decorative crowns.

The Ancient Hebrews also valued peppermint for its pleasant scent and used it to cover synagogue floors during special occasions.


Peppermint Plant Care: How to Grow Peppermint

Growing peppermint is easy when given the right environment. Follow these tips to keep your peppermint plant healthy and thriving:

Light

Peppermint grows well in both full sun and partial shade. While it can tolerate some shade, more sunlight improves its flavor and fragrance by increasing essential oil production. For best results, place it within a foot of a south-facing window to ensure it gets 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil

​​Peppermint prefers rich, loamy soil that stays consistently moist but can adapt to various soil types. Just make sure the soil is loose and drains well to avoid waterlogging. If planting directly in the ground, use barriers to control its spread, as peppermint can rapidly take over a garden.

Temperature

Peppermint grows best in cooler climates, ideally between 55°F and 70°F. It can tolerate light frosts but struggles in prolonged cold. In warmer weather, ensure the soil remains moist to keep the plant healthy.

Watering

​​Peppermint likes consistently moist soil, but be careful not to overwater it, as soggy roots can damage the plant. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. For potted plants, aim for about 0.8 cups of water every nine days if it's not getting direct sunlight. 

Fertilizing

Peppermint plants benefit from a balanced diet of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). After each harvest, apply a light dose of fertilizer to support recovery and encourage regrowth. Feeding every 45 days will keep your plants healthy.

Pruning

Regular pruning is essential to keep your peppermint plant compact and bushy. Trim the tips regularly to promote new growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.


Uses and Benefits of Peppermint

The peppermint plant is truly an herb that keeps on giving. Here’s how you can make the most of this versatile plant:

  • Culinary Uses: Peppermint adds a refreshing flavor to desserts, salads, sauces, and drinks like tea and mojitos. The essential oil menthol, extracted from its leaves and flowers, is also commonly found in gum, toothpaste, and flavored treats.

  • Medicinal Uses: Known for its soothing properties, peppermint helps with digestion, relieves headaches, and eases nausea, menstrual cramps, and skin irritation. Its calming effect also helps with anxiety and flatulence.

  • Aromatherapy: The cool, minty scent of peppermint is popular in aromatherapy for clearing the mind, reducing stress, and boosting energy. Its essential oil is often used for headache relief and relaxation.

  • Natural Insect Repellent: While peppermint oil has a pleasant scent for humans, mosquitoes and other garden pests find it off-putting. Dilute the oil with water before spraying to protect your plants while keeping pests at bay.

  • Fragrance: Fresh or dried peppermint leaves are excellent for potpourris and sachets, providing a clean, lasting scent for your home.

Good for medium and large dogs not good for small dogs
Too big for dogs under 15 pounds. Treats are hard to get out of the four corners. My dog can barely pick this up. She weighs 12 pounds. She still found it interesting though trying to dig the treats out that she was unsuccessful. Even after I cut all the little triangle prongs off the four corners the treats are still stuck in there. There is a slot on the side that I can put half of a dental refill in the side and she can eventually get it out so there’s still somewhat of play and challenge received, but not that satisfied to me.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Peanut Butter
I have a very very aggressive chewer. She is a Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Most toys she completely destroys within 2 days, sometimes 2 hours. I must praise this toy as she has had it for over 5 months and has not destroyed it! She loves chewing the ends and carries in her mouth squeaking it as she goes. I have 4 pups and they all take turns chewing when they can. I will be buying more Playology dog toys in the future. Thank you for making such a great toy!!

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.
