No artificial flavour can match the fresh, sharp mintiness of natural spearmint. Grow it once; have it always. This herb is a keeper! Use it in much the way you would garden mint as a basis for sauces or teas, or to add a twist of fresh flavour to summer drinks. All mint varieties are said to be very good for the digestion, and they naturally sweeten the breath - but maybe you just like chewing a fresh leaf for its flavour alone. Whatever the reason you like mint, spearmint is well worth growing in your home garden: fresh and delicious!

How to Sow
As a member of the mint family, peppermint likes to be kept moist. Sow it quite shallowly and keep moist until the seeds germinate. Although it can be sown direct, you will get better control over the germination environment in containers.
How to Harvest
Pinch out young tips as needed. If your plants get too leggy, cut them back hard.
