Mint "Peppermint" Heirloom Seeds

Botanical mint, closely resembling peppermint in flavor, is a fast-growing aromatic herb from the Mentha family. Its vigorous growth means it can quickly become root bound in small pots, which can harm the plant’s health, so using larger containers is best. Mint adapts well to various soil types, from free-draining to damp, but thrives when enriched with plenty of compost and monthly seaweed extract feedings. Sow seeds directly into containers to control its spread, planting at least two seeds per hole and keeping the soil moist until germination. Mint grows well in full sun to shaded areas, making it a versatile addition to your garden or herb collection.
