from Wikipedia:
Mentha spicata (Spear Mint or Spearmint) is a species of mint native to much of Europe and southwest Asia, though its exact natural range is uncertain due to extensive early cultivation. It grows in wet soils.
It is a herbaceous rhizomatous perennial plant growing 30100 cm tall, with variably hairless to hairy stems and foliage, and a wide-spreading fleshy underground rhizome. The leaves are 59 cm long and 1.53 cm broad, with a serrated margin. Spearmint produces flowers in slender spikes, each flower pink or white, 2.53 mm long and broad.
Hybrids involving spearmint include Mentha × piperita (Peppermint; hybrid with Mentha aquatica), Mentha × gracilis (Ginger Mint, syn. M. cardiaca; hybrid with Mentha arvensis), and Mentha × villosa (Large Apple Mint, hybrid with Mentha suaveolens).
The name 'spear' mint derives from the pointed leaf tips. |
