Mint Spearmint Herb Seeds
500 Seeds
Spearmint is a classic perennial herb with bright green leaves and a cool, refreshing flavour. It is widely used in drinks, teas, sauces and desserts, and is especially delicious with lamb, peas and potatoes. Easy to grow and vigorous, spearmint will provide an abundance of fresh leaves throughout the year and makes a great choice for tubs, pots or a dedicated herb patch.
How To Grow
Sow seeds thinly and cover lightly with fine soil or compost. Firm down gently and keep moist during germination. Spearmint prefers a damp, partly shaded position and can spread quickly, so it is best grown in containers or where it can be contained.
When To Plant
Sow all year round in pots, or outdoors during the warmer months.
Harvest
Pick leaves as required once plants are established. Regular harvesting will promote bushy growth.
Soil Type
Thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
