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!

Growing Information

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.

Very fragrant
Seeds are now seedlings. Growing slowly I still have them in a mini greenhouse.
Looking forward to seeing them flourish as they grow. Growing from seeds is rewarding, something you could do with your young children or grandkids.
It's a slow process so be patient.
I was careful only to put 1 seed per pot, not all grew but that's what I expected.
Definitely recommend this business
