Characteristics:Mentha arvensis, commonly known as field mint or wild mint, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North America.

Mentha arvensis prefers moist, well-draining soils and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including sandy or clay soils. However, it prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH. It is a hardy plant and can grow in various climates.

Mentha arvensis is commonly used in culinary and medicinal applications. The leaves are used as a flavoring agent in teas, beverages, desserts, and savory dishes. They can be dried or used fresh. Mentha arvensis has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for its digestive and soothing properties.

Mentha arvensis can be an invasive plant due to its spreading nature. Therefore, it is often recommended to grow it in containers or confined areas to prevent it from taking over the garden. Regular pruning or harvesting can help control its growth and promote bushier growth. It requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist.
