Description

The listing, Peppermint- 25+ Seeds has ended.

Strongly aromatic peppermint can be used in both cooking - in drinks, salads, and baked goods - and in potpourri and other fragrant decorative items. In hot tea, it is said to help stomach upset.

This perennial grows to 3 feet tall and spreads rapidly to indefinate widths. The 3 inch smooth, lance-shaped, toothed leaves are tinged with purple around the edges. Oblong terminal spikes of lilac-pink flowers appear all summer.

Like other mints, peppermint is extremely easy to grow. In fact, it grows so well, it is best to confine it to containers. Grow in almost any soil conditions in sun or part shade, harvesting leaves all season long. Zones 4-9.

Most definately!! Most herbs do very well in pots in the house. There are a few that kind of tall and busy...but I am sure with some trmming and thoughtful placement..even they can find a home inside. Mint is a great plant to have inside...if you walk by it, and gently crush a leave...or just brush it with your hand...it will leave the most amazing scent. I will be listing other mint seeds again soon. Have an awesome week and stop back to see what else I list. Thanks, Christine

Do you have any problem starting mints from seed? I've heard they are usually propagated from clippings instead of started from seed.
