Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is one of the most widely used mints, prized for its strong fragrance and flavor. Wonderful in lemonade and teas, it grows large and makes an excellent groundcover, while its flowers draw in pollinators. A fast-growing perennial, it returns year after year and tolerates cold well in zones 5 to 11.
