Instructions
Start Mint seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting into their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant spacing directions below. Pick a location sheltered from the wind and receives at least 6 hours of sun per day. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.
- Planting Depth: 3 mm (1/8in.)
- Seed Spacing: Sow mint seeds roughly 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 40 cm (16 in.) apart.
- Plant Spacing: 40 cm (16 in.)
- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Water your mint during long dry spells. It is also important to water it regularly in the early days after planting as the young plants are still quite sensitive.
- Mint can be aggressive and choose with care where you plant it.
- To control the spread of mint, the best way is first plant it in a pot and then place the pot in the ground or a larger container with soil. Rotate the pot by a quarter turn every few weeks to prevent the roots from escaping through the drainage holes. This will help to limit the growth and spread of the plant.
- The best time to harvest mint leaves is right before the flowers appear, usually midway through the growing season. However, you can start collecting individual leaves as soon as the plants reach a height of at least 10 cm (4 in).

Hit and Miss
"I have had some of these work out, and some not. I find the seed to be very finicky and you need to follow the directions very precisely for them to have a chance to grow."
"A wonderful addition to the property, great for pest control and smells wonderful also !"
"Awesome"
Good seed
"I planted these seeds, they took a while to sprout, about 2 weeks. They were slow starting but after transplanting into rich soil in the garden, they took off. We are enjoying lots of lovely fresh mint now. (3 months later). I am happy with this seed, it just takes patience and good soil. I did find that the easiest way to propagate mint is to take cuttings, put them in a glass of water and in a few days there are roots. Then just plant them in the garden! Thank you for these seeds!"
