💧 How to Grow
Starting: Can be started from seed, cuttings, or division.
🌞 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).
🌼 Growing Sustainably
Attracts Beneficial Insects: The flowers can attract pollinators like bees.
✂️ 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.
