Description

The listing, spearmint seeds has ended.

Description
Spearmint in its general characteristics resembles peppermint, but it is rather more vigorous in its growth, the lance-shaped leaves are generally stem less, and the flower spikes are narrow and pointed rather than thick and blunt.

Culture
Grow Spearmint as you would any other member of the Mint family. It is a perennial growing to 3 feet tall and is tolerable of many different growing conditions. As with Peppermint, it can become invasive, so plant it in an area where it can be controlled and won't crowd out other garden plants. Spearmint grows well in nearly all climates. Gardeners often grow healthy specimens in pots or planters due to its invasive spreading nature. The plant prefers partial shade, but it can flourish in full sun to mostly shade. Loamy soils with plenty of organic material are best suited to spearmint. When growing spearmint for culinary purposes, fertilize with a well balanced fertilizer, organic composts, or manure. To harvest for culinary purposes, simply cut the branches, leaving a minimum of 1/3 of the branch, which will encourage the plant to bush out. Spearmint leaves can be used whole, chopped, or dried.
I offer at least twenty seeds they are very small in size may be more seed but at least that much
