Description

Peppermint is a vigorous member of the Lamiaceae family. Without a root barrier it spreads rapidly in the garden, so container cultivation is recommended.

Care instructions

Prefers partial shade to full sun and consistently moist soil. A root barrier is essential in the ground. Transplant every 2–3 years to prevent weakening.

Companion planting

Good neighbours

Rather not
