The listing, 25 Spearmint seeds has ended.

I ordered these in bulk so I thought I would share with all you. The below words I copied and pasted from the actual person I bought these from so you will know the exact details how to grow these..


Herb Seeds - Spearmint

A native of Europe, spearmint is a popular plant with home gardeners. It is hardy to the point of invasiveness; spearmint can easily take over an herb bed. It also is better fresh, unlike its near relative, peppermint. Spearmint has a more savory flavor than peppermint and is used in cooking and as a garnish

Sowing

Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost.


Growing

Water frequently. Spearmint thrives in moist soil but do not over water. Water at regular intervals for best results. Decide on a location. Because it is very invasive and prone to taking over a bed, most veteran gardeners plant spearmint in pots or containers. Locate the spearmint where it will get partial shade. A traditional place to plane spearmint is underneath a dripping yard faucet. Harvest when the spearmint starts to bloom. Remove up to a third of the spearmint plant, branch and leaves. The remaining plant will re-grow for later harvest. Use the leaves immediately; spearmint does not dry well.
