Growing Tips
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in spring once temperatures warm. Mint prefers moist, rich soil in full sun to partial shade. Thin or transplant to 18–24 inches apart. Note: mint spreads vigorously — consider planting in containers or using a root barrier to keep it in bounds. Harvest regularly by trimming stems just above a leaf node to encourage bushy, productive growth. Cut back flower spikes to prolong the harvest of flavorful leaves.
