Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation needed. Spearmint seeds are relatively easy to handle.

Sowing:

Sow seeds in spring after the last frost or in late summer for a fall crop.
Scatter seeds thinly over the soil surface or plant them 1/4 inch deep.
Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 10-15 days when soil temperatures are around 65-70°F (18-21°C).
Maintain even moisture levels during germination to prevent drying out.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing positions.
Space plants about 12 inches apart in rows or containers.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around the base of plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Pinch back stems regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent legginess.
Harvest leaves as needed for culinary use, but avoid harvesting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continued growth.
Divide plants every 2-3 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.
