Description
BLACK PEPPERMINT – A striking and aromatic hardy perennial, Black Peppermint features dark purple stems that stand out beautifully against its reddish-green foliage. This vigorous herb produces elegant spikes of small pinkish-mauve flowers from August through October, adding both colour and fragrance to the garden.
POLLINATOR FRIENDLY – Highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, Black Peppermint is a valuable nectar source that supports garden biodiversity. Its strong scent also makes it useful as a natural insect repellent and rodent deterrent.
CULINARY USES – This versatile peppermint variety is perfect for culinary use. Add a refreshing twist to sweets, cakes, summer drinks, or brew it into a soothing herbal tea. Its essential oils are also widely used in confectionery.
EASY TO GROW – Black Peppermint thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Reaching up to 60cm in height, it’s ideal for beds, borders, or patio pots – a low-maintenance yet rewarding addition to any garden.
