spearmint
Mild mint variety
Spearmint is a variety of mint with pointed leaves and a milder, sweeter flavor than peppermint.
It's the standard mint for cooking, appearing in lamb dishes, salads, and mojitos, while peppermint dominates candy and toothpaste.
The plant spreads aggressively in gardens: The spearmint has taken over that whole corner of the yard.
