About Peppermint (Mentha piperita):

Peppermint is a naturally occurring hybrid between watermint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata), first described in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. Native to Europe and the Middle East, it has since naturalized across North America and much of the temperate world. Prized for centuries for its aromatic oils and medicinal properties, peppermint has been cultivated since antiquity and remains one of the most widely used herbs in teas, culinary preparations, and traditional remedies. Its characteristic menthol-rich scent and vigorous, spreading growth habit make it instantly recognizable in gardens and wild settings alike. Learn more about this remarkable plant on Wikipedia.
