Where do mint leaves come from?

are there specific types of leaves like actual 'spearmint' or 'pepermint'? or are they all derivitave of the same plant? I needed to buy some spearmint leaves for a recipe but all I can find are fresh 'Mint' leaves. what gives?

Where do mint leaves come from?
There are probably 25 variaties of the mentha genus--From mint to oregano, etc., etc., mint leaves are mint leaves--use what you can find
Reply:Mint leaves are usually labeled spearmint leaves and if you go to a plant nursery there are a few variety's of mint just like there are different kinds of tomatoes, oranges, or grapes. They even have chocolate spearmint. It's very easy to grow and I reccomend putting it in a container bc it spreads in the garden like a vine and can overtake the whole garden. I grow some every year so I can make homeade mint jelly... it's so yummy! :)
Reply:They all come from different mint plants. You could probably find a small plant at a local garden center.
Reply:yeah they come from a mint bush
