While you can find dozens of varieties of mint for your garden, we focus on cultivating peppermint because it is the best mint for soothing upset stomachs, relieving headaches, and cooling inflammation.  This is the true peppermint with dark green leaves and a strong minty flavor with no hints of spearmint. Excellent flavor for tea.

Watch out!  It will take over your garden if you don’t constrain it to a pot or other container.  If you give it rich soil, some sun, and lots of water, and keep cutting it back, peppermint will provide medicine for three seasons each year.
