Use Chocolate Peppermint to make delicious puddings and peppermint tea. It’s a small, rhizomatous plant. Keep it in a large pot as it spreads. Don’t plant it too deep. Divide and replant in fresh compost every March when it starts growing. Water it well. It tolerates exposure, grows in rich, moist but well-drained soil (even wet soil), prefers full sun or partial shade, and is extremely hardy. Its growth season is from spring to autumn. Cut back the summer flowers to keep the leaf flavor. It can spread indefinitely if not contained for 2 – 5 years.
