Peppermint is a traditional herb garden favorite. Peppermint plants are a delicious culinary herb with a fragrance that is considered to be one of the best memory triggers - one sniff of the refreshing bouquet of this aromatic herb appears to back this up, as it conjures up memories of candy canes!
People are probably most familiar with its commercial uses, but it can also be easily grown and put to a variety of uses. For years, peppermint has been used to treat headaches, muscle cramps, and chronic indigestion. Menthol, the extracted essential oil, is found in the plant's leaves and flowers and is used in lotions, mouthwashes, soaps, and candies for its calming properties.

“My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

“I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
