tomentosum, the Peppermint Geranium. It sprawls, is fuzzy, and bears small nearly white flowers. Our illustration shows two lesser known kinds.
Other named cultivars include 'Garnet,' 'Poetica,' & 'Peppermint.' Because such varieties are fertile they again should not be planted in regions where ivies may seed into the wild, leaving 'Conglomerata' & 'Congesta' the better choices.
Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is more pungent than spearmint, which tends to the sweet side. Peppermint grows to 3 feet tall, bearing smooth leaves 1 to 3 inches long. But the bouquet is bigger than these two familiar flavors.
Lady Tulip (T. clusiana) has flowers that look like a peppermint stick. The red and white flowers on 12- to 14- inch stems open in the sun to form a star.
Tulipa eichleri has big, red and yellow striped flowers with pointed petals.
The bushy mound of light green foliage reeking of peppermint was smothered in clouds of tiny, very light blue flowers. Our plants here in hot, muggy NC have performed equally as well, in full flower from June until October.
If the leaves are crushed it has an interesting peppermint or aniseed fragrance and the flowers too have a peppermint aroma. You could put it near an evening sitting area in a place where its foliage can be touched.
Mentha Requieni - A minute creeping plant with a strong odour of Peppermint, and trails about among the tiniest plants in the rock garden. I use it often for covering the ground beneath Tea Roses, and it spreads and grows everywhere.
I loved to walk with her, and together we collected wild herbs for teas, such as yarrow, blue violets, peppermint, red clover and strawberry leaves. We drank herbal tea every day.
Some commonly used herbs that grow easily are: basil, bee balm, catnip, chamomile, chives, dill, lemon balm, peppermint, and spearmint.
