A popular and aromatic perennial herb, Spearmint is cherished for its distinctly sweet and refreshing flavor, less pungent than peppermint. It features bright green, serrated leaves on square stems and produces small spikes of pink or white flowers. Spearmint is easy to grow, spreads vigorously via rhizomes (underground stems), and is excellent for culinary uses, teas, and as a fragrant ground cover. It prefers rich, moist soil and can thrive in full sun to partial shade.
