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.

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Aggressive chewers have met their match.
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
We purchased this toy in 2022, it finally broke last night. Four years of rough play with 2 boxers who are aggressive chewers. They would tug together, gnaw on it for hours, and often leave it outside exposed to the elements, but this toy just kept going. It was by far their favorite toy, it kept them busy for hours. I just ordered a replacement. Well worth the money, perfect size. Highly recommend.

Durable, fun, and safe for my dog
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I have a 10 month old, 50 lb mutt who has the musculature of a pit bull and the muzzle of a GSD. Buttercup’s favorite past-time is shredding toys into teeny tiny bits, but sometimes those bits don’t come back out of her mouth. She can’t have tennis balls, stuffies, anything with a squeaker, silicone toys, plastic toys, rubber toys with spikes or small appendages, anything with rope, or most chews & bones. She chewed her first and only $8+ XL bully stick like a corn chip. Finding indoor enrichment is a challenge. Buttercup is extremely pleased with this tire tug thingy, it is very ergonomic for both her and me to get a handle on it, it has more movement than any other toy she can safely have, and it’s very durable. After more than a week, there’s only a little bit of tread missing, which is definitely the best-case outcome with a super chewer. I think this is a good alternative to GoNut toys because it’s solid & dense while also a little bit easier & more interesting to play with, and very unlike GoNuts, this Tonka toy is very reasonably priced. I also think this it’s a good size for almost any breed of dog—I could definitely picture a little Boston or Frenchie dangling from one end. Highly recommended!

Dog loves it
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I would buy this again and again. It’s extremely durable and has held up great with my 9 month old Saint Bernard puppy. We even call it his “pacifier” because every night he grabs it and chews on it until he falls asleep. Definitely a favorite in our house!
