A vigorous and spreading perennial, it is essential in the herb garden, herb border, or patio container, where its vigour is best contained. In summer, upright spikes of small lilac-pink flowers are produced, which are highly attractive to bees. The leaves can be used fresh or dried in teas, cooking, cocktails, and confectionery. Cutting back regularly encourages fresh, flavoursome growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e highly aromatic and edible, excellent in teas and cooking, long-season foliage interest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e bees, bumblebees, and butterflies visit the flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 60cm x spreading indefinitely if unrestricted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e full sun to partial shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e neutral to slightly acid; moisture-retentive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e moist but well-drained; water regularly; do not allow to dry out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e cold hardy to -20°C; dies back in winter, re-emerges in spring\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coletta \u0026 Tyson","offers":[{"title":"1 litre x 3","offer_id":57007689597306,"sku":"COL-1LTR-MIN-PEPX3","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 litre x 6","offer_id":57007689630074,"sku":"COL-1LTR-MIN-PEPX6","price":31.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0320\/6758\/4138\/files\/Mentha-x-piperita-1L-Cedar-Nursery-Surrey-1.png?v=1772210565","url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/ct-mentha-x-piperita-herbaceous","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
