Peppermint Plants Growing
This photo shows the peppermint plant growing in a garden. As with most cultivars of peppermint, these plants show the characteristic red-purple color of the stem. The leaves have opposite arrangement around the stem, typical of mint-family plants.
The leaves are very finely serrated, with much smaller teeth than typical for spearmint. The teeth are so small that, in this photo, at a glance the leaves look almost to have smooth margins.
