Peppermint, very aromatic, has a pungent taste with a refreshing aftertaste. Very vigorous and invasive, we recommend growing the plant in a pot on the terrace, in a large pot halfway into the ground, or in the ground where the plant can develop without restrictions. Natural repellent against insects and parasites. Its flowers are edible and very attractive to pollinators.
