About Peppermint

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It is distinguished by its square stems, characteristic of the family, and its intensely aromatic dark green foliage. Resulting from a natural cross between water mint and spearmint, it is particularly rich in menthol, which gives it a unique feeling of freshness.

It prefers cool, nutrient-rich and well-drained soils, and thrives ideally in partial shade or full sun, in moderate humidity conditions. Easy to grow, it is often planted in slightly shaded areas of the garden or in pots, as it can become invasive if not contained. It requires regular watering, especially in hot periods.

In summer, it produces small purple flowers clustered in spikes, very attractive to bees and other pollinators. Harvested before flowering for the distillation of its essential oil, it is used in herbal medicine, cosmetics and cooking. Its intense freshness soothes, tones and perfumes countless natural care products.
