Description

Peppermint is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. Purple color spikes, plants 30-90 cm tall. Indigenous to Mediterranean region of Southern Europe. In the early 19th century, bringing to United States and Western Asia.

Mentha was established by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753. About 30 species have been recorded. Now more than 600 species in horticulture because of the easy natural hybridization between species and the wide range of artificial hybridization. Adaptable, under 2,000 meters above sea level, grow well with plenty of sunshine and moisture. Sufficient sunshine lead to higher production and levels of menthol in the mint oil.
