My understanding is mint is family of herbs that include spearmint,

peppermint ect. I may be be mistaken but Ii know I grow both in my garden.

Spearmint and pepper mint have slightly different flavors.

Hope that helps

question about mints

 

Is there a difference btween mint and spearmint? Is

mint just a short name for spearmint?

Thanks for helping me understand,
