Spearmint Herb Seed

Sweetly aromatic Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) can be used in both cooking—in the well-known mint jelly and sauces—and in potpurri and other fragrant decorative items.

This perennial grows to 3 feet tall and spreads rapidly to indefinite widths. The 2-3 1/2 inch lance-shaped leaves are a unique wrinkled texture. Oblong terminal spikes of lilac-pink to white flowers appear all summer.

Like other mints, spearmint is extremely easy to grow. In fact, it grows so well, it is best to confine it to containers. You can start indoors 8 - 10 weeks prior to last spring frost or sow directly outdoors in partially shaded, moist, soil. Sow this herb seed only 1/16" deep in very rich, loose soil. Thin or transplant when 2 inches tall. Harvest leaves as needed. Young leaves and stems have best flavor.

Spearmint herb seed germinates in 12 - 16 days.
