Peppermint is a strap (lance) leaved
variety. As its namesake, Peppermint
would remind you of a candy cane with
dark rose red laminar areas and broad
white veins, making it truly unique
among strap varieties. The most
striking peppermint pattern occurs on
mature foliage. Immature foliage, such
as what you get when you de-eye it, is
largely white with rose red blotches.
Peppermint is useful in 4” pots and up
but should be de-eyed for smaller pot
sizes. Peppermint also makes an
interesting hanging basket. Mature
leaves of Peppermint can burn in full
sun in the south therefore should be
planted in semi to shady areas in the
landscape in the Southeast US.
Peppermint is an intermediate size strap
variety.
This is a Hartman Hybrid Exclusive
variety, PP 22,214
