Mint Spearmint

Spearmint is an upright evergreen that reaches heights of 40 – 90 cm. The bright green foliage is highly aromatic and is supported on the typical square stems belonging to the mint family.

The serrated leaves are spear shaped with a pointed end, providing the origins of the name spear – mint. Spearmint is also known as English, common or green mint.

The flavour of mint goes well with many savoury ingredients, especially vegetables. Perfect with lamb, usually made into mint sauce, helping to digest the fatty nature of the meat. Its digestive qualities are similar to peppermint but not as strong. On the sweet side, the taste goes particularly well with chocolate.

A spreading plant that is great for containers which will help to contain its spreading habit.
