Flowers: Summer
Spearmint (Mentha spicata 'Kentucky Colonel') is an aromatic herb with a long history of medicinal and culinary uses. Originating in Europe, it was introduced to the United States by Kentucky settlers in the late1800s. It is characterized by its pungent, refreshing aroma, which is far more intense than that of its relative, peppermint. Its green, jagged leaves are small in size and release a pleasant citrusy scent when crushed. In the garden, it is a popular choice for use in borders, rock gardens, and containers, and is also often grown in culinary herb gardens for its many culinary uses. It requires partial to full sun and moderately fertile soil, and regular watering. It looks best when trimmed back periodically, to encourage bushiness.
