Peppermint is a hybrid plant that has been used as an aid in digestion. One of the main components is menthol which is used in everything from breathing aids to candy. Peppermint is often used as a flavoring in tea, ice cream, chewing gum, toothpaste and candy. It is also used to scent shampoos, soaps and lotions. It can also be used as a natural pesticide and insect deterrent Peppermint grows 12-35 inches tall with smooth stems. The leaves are 1.6-3.5 inches long and are broad dark green with reddish veins. They also are usually slightly hairy. The plant produces small bunches of purple flowers grouped together in thick blunt spiky balls. These flowers produce large amounts of nectar and attract bees and hummingbirds.
