With peppermint you will forget about mice and aphids in your growing space.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a perennial plant which has adapted perfectly to drought and flooding, covering the ground with its lime green leaves. Used as a medicine since ancient times, the Egyptian culture cultivated and used it for digestive problems, soothing inflammations and treating the common cold.

Recent studies have shown that peppermint is more than a traditional medicine and that the Greeks and Romans were right to use it to soothe aches and pains and as a mild stimulant.

Peppermint is a great complementary plant for cannabis. It has an intense aroma that combines perfectly with other aromatic plants to mask the characteristic odor of growing marijuana. It attracts beneficial insects such as bees, while repelling ants, fleas and aphids, alticine beetles and mice. Frequent pruning stimulates abundant growth, but caution must be exercised, as it spreads quickly, invading the entire growing space, so it must be continually pulled up and replanted.
