MINT mentha x piperita 'Peppermint'
Settler HivesNew Home Compostable Packaging
So easy to grow that it's probably best contained to a pot. Goes wild when it's given a sideways glance and kept hydrated. Beautiful bright green leaves great for homemade beauty remedies, decorating desserts or pina coladas. Or all three at ones if you're a multi tanker! ____________________________________________________________________
