It is 30–100cm (12–39in) tall, with variably hairless to hairy stems and foliage, and a wide-spreading fleshy underground rhizome from which it grows. The leaves are 3 + 1⁄ 2in) long and 1.5–3cm ( 1⁄ 2– 1 + 1⁄ 4in) broad, with a serrated margin. The stem is square-shaped, a defining characteristic of the mint family of herbs. Spearmint produces flowers in slender spikes, each flower pink or white in colour, 2.5–3mm (0.098–0.118in) long and broad. [12] [13] Spearmint flowers in the summer (from July to September in the northern hemisphere), [14] and has relatively large seeds, which measure 0.62–0.90mm (0.024–0.035in). [14] The name ''spear'' mint derives from the pointed leaf tips. [15] Akdoğan M, Tamer MN, Cüre E, Cüre MC, Köroğlu BK, Delibaş N.
