Okay, I suppose it might not merit that subject line but....

Was just at Richter Seeds, which usually I'm happy with, looking for herbs. They advertised Mint, Menthol (Mentha Spicata) as being commonly referred to as peppermint or spearmint.

Um, excuse me?

They Are Not The Same Thing!!

Grrrrrrr

I know what you mean. I like peppermint; I can't stand spearmint!

Well, the site says "Variety commonly sold as peppermint or spearmint". Which is a slightly different claim...
Park seeds does in fact sell this particular seed as 'peppermint' seed

Why would one be buying mint seed anyway?

Rar indeed! Spicata is supposed to be spearmint, and piperita is peppermint. If they don't know the freaking difference, don't buy their seeds!
