Common Uses:
Did you know? One interesting and somewhat unusual aspect of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata) is its ability to hybridise with other mint species, creating unique variations. Spearmint can crossbreed with other members of the mint family, such as peppermint (Mentha × piperita), resulting in hybrid plants with a combination of characteristics from both parent species. This natural tendency for hybridisation contributes to the diversity within the mint family and can lead to variations in aroma and flavour profiles among different spearmint plants.
