Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow spearmint seeds in early spring, allowing 50–70 days to reach maturity.
  • Start seeds indoors or plant directly outside once the soil has warmed and can be kept evenly moist.
  • Seeds should be lightly covered, as mint germinates best with some exposure to light.
  • Space young plants or thin seedlings to allow a mature spread of 12–24 inches and ensure good airflow.
  • Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and rich, moist soil to support strong, aromatic growth.
  • Containers are an excellent option for keeping the plant’s spreading roots in check while still producing abundant foliage.

Maintenance

  • Spearmint grows vigorously and benefits from containment to prevent unwanted spread.
  • Regular trimming encourages fuller plants and more tender leaves throughout the season.
  • Consistent moisture keeps foliage lush, especially in hot or dry weather.
  • Mulching helps maintain soil moisture and supports healthy root growth.
  • Plants return each year, but older clumps may be divided every few seasons to maintain vigor.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest individual stems once plants are well established, taking care not to remove more than one-third of the growth at a time.
  • Leaves are most aromatic just before the plant begins to flower.
  • Expect plants to reach about 12–24 inches tall with a similar spread, providing generous foliage for repeated harvests.
  • Freshly cut stems can be stored in water in the refrigerator or dried in a warm, airy location for long-term use.
  • Dried leaves should be kept in airtight containers away from light to maintain peak flavor.
