Peppermint has greenish-purple
lance-shaped leaves while the rounder leaves of spearmint are
more of a grayish green color. The taste of both peppermint
and spearmint bear a flavor that can be described as a cross
between pepper and chlorophyll, with peppermint being a bit
stronger and spearmint being a little more cool and subtle.

The mints are excellent
groundcovers due to their tendency to spread. If you keep them
mowed, they will form a thick carpet. |

Fresh mint is added to salads and
summer beverages. The dried leaves make an aromatic tea that
is sometimes considered to be an aid to digestion. Spearmint
has a slightly milder flavor, less medicinal, than peppermint.
The dried leaves can also be added to sachets and potpourris
to give an impression of “coolness.” |
