🌿 Growing & Care Guide

🌿 Quick Facts 


Botanical Name: Mentha spicata Type: Herbaceous perennial Sunlight: Partial to full sun (4+ hours daily) Height: 1–2 feet (30–60 cm) Spacing: 18–24 inches apart (can spread vigorously) Germination Time: 10–14 days Harvest Time: Can be harvested throughout the growing season 


💧 How to Grow Starting: Can be started from seed, cuttings, or division. Division of established plants is the easiest and fastest method. Planting Seeds: Sow shallowly (¼ inch deep) in well-drained soil or seed-starting mix. Planting Cuttings/Divisions: Plant at the same depth as the original plant. Ensure good soil contact. Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to various soil types. Container Growing: Thrives in containers, which can help control its spread. Ensure the pot has drainage holes. 


🌞 Care Tips 

Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Feeding: Generally doesn't require heavy feeding. A light application of balanced organic fertilizer in spring can be beneficial. Pruning: Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth. Prune back hard after flowering to encourage new growth. Controlling Spread: Spearmint spreads via underground runners (rhizomes). To contain it in the garden, consider planting it in a bottomless container sunk into the ground or using raised beds. 


🌼 Growing Sustainably Attracts Beneficial Insects: The flowers can attract pollinators like bees. Companion Planting: Can deter some pests in the garden. Easy to Propagate: Easily shared with friends and other gardeners.


 ✂️ Harvesting Leaves: 

Harvest individual leaves or stems as needed throughout the growing season. The flavor is best before the plant flowers. Drying: To dry, hang stems upside down in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Once dry, crumble the leaves and store them in an airtight container. Freezing: Alternatively, chop fresh leaves and freeze them in ice cube trays with a little water. Tip: Frequent harvesting encourages more vigorous growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy.  


❄️ End of Season Cut back the plant to the ground in late fall after the foliage dies back. In colder climates, a layer of mulch can help protect the roots over winter. Spearmint will typically regrow in the spring.
