Mints are aromatic, almost exclusively perennial herbs and adaptable plants which can grow both outdoors and indoors.They have wide-spreading underground and overground runners and erect, square, branched stems. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, from oblong to lanceolate, often downy, and with a serrated margin.
