Spearmint is a perennial plant that is useful to grow in a home garden. Spearmint got its name from its very pointy leaves which are reminiscent of spears. It has a long history of use in ancient societies in Greece, Egypt and Rome. Spearmint was specifically mentioned by the Roman herbalist, Pliny. Spearmint essential oil is distilled from the leaves of the plant. Spearmint Oil is similar to Peppermint Oil, but is considered milder since it contains less menthol. Its distinctive uplifting scent is considered refreshing.
