The word mint comes from the Greek word mentha (or menta) and it used to be the herb of hospitality for the Ancient Greeks. The spearmint mint plant grows to a height of two feet and has rich green leaves, lance shaped with jagged edges. The flowers are usually pinkish or pink -lilac, and sometimes green. The plant prefers partial shade, but it is a rather strong plant and can flourish in full sun to mostly shade. The main characteristic of the spearmint is that is very aromatic, which makes it so popular in the making of salads in Greece.
