Herb Peppermint - Mentha Piperita

1500 seeds

1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the surface of moist seed-starting mix, as they need light to germinate.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and at 65–70°F. Germination typically takes 10–14 days.

3. Light: Provide full sun or partial shade for best growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Peppermint prefers rich, well-drained soil but can tolerate moist conditions.

5. Transplanting: After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 12–18 inches apart.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is perfect for adding to herb gardens, raised beds, or containers. Its fresh, minty leaves can be harvested for culinary or medicinal uses, and it is relatively easy to grow, even in containers or as ground cover.
