Growing Tips
-
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after frost risk has passed. Press seeds lightly onto the soil surface and do not cover deeply, as mint needs light to germinate.
-
Soil and light: Prefers moist, well-draining soil and a location with full sun to partial shade.
-
Germination: Expect germination in 10 to 16 days at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees F.
-
Spacing: Thin seedlings to 12 to 18 inches apart. Mint spreads readily, so containers or root barriers help keep it in bounds.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
-
Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves once plants are well established, taking stems from the top to encourage bushy growth.
