(Perennial)

Leaves can be infused to make tea, or can be crushed and added to iced drinks.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, and in a bright sunny position.
Care
Keep well watered, as mint thrives in slightly wet conditions. It can become invasive: consider containing its roots by planting within barriers or in pots.
Height & Spread:
40 – 60cm × 60 – 90cm.
Harvesting
Gently pick leaves as needed, ideally in the morning when essential oils are strongest.
