Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) plant 

Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) is native to the Balkan Peninsula and Turkey.  Spearmint has a strong flavor and fragrance that is released with simple bruising. It's the best mint variety for hot and cold drinks.   Great for Mojitos.  Mints are known to spread.  If you want to keep plants contained, plant in a container without any holes.  This pot can be buried in the ground. 

Plants will be bare-root from late November through April, and in pots starting in April.  Plants in pots will be small in the spring and larger as the season progresses.
