Beautiful deep purple leaves characterize this peppermint variety. The taste is as it should be: fresh and stimulating!
Most mint varieties of the genus Mentha grow in the sun or in the shade. In the sun, the most compact growth and the most intense color, scent, and taste develop. Each variety goes through 2 growth stages: in spring, there is the growth spurt upwards for flowering. After that, horizontally (hard) growing runners emerge, which develop into new plants in another location. Bees and butterflies love mint flowers.
