Spearmint Herb is the common variety of mint that is very versatile and makes great mint sauce as well as fresh with new potatoes or peas or in your summer Pimms. Spearmint/Garden Mint has attractive, fragrant dark green serrated leaves and produces little mauve flowers.
Mint grows to 60cm and has an infinite spread – it is an invasive plant. To stop it spreading out of control it is best to plant it in a container and then plant the container into the soil.
Sowing Season:
February to June or August to October.
How to sow:
Sow seed in seed compost, but do not cover seed. Ensure the compost is moist, but not wet and covered. Keep at 18-20C. Germination is erratic and may take 1-2 weeks or a few weeks. Transplant seedlings into a small pot when large enough to handle and plant out 30cm apart when risk of frost has passed.
Care:
Regular picking will ensure a healthy crop and encourage new fresh shoots to grow. To prevent mint from becoming straggly or woody cut back after flowering.
Once established it can be picked for 5-6 months a year and keeps well dried for the winter months.
