Product Review
- Peppermint contains a much higher level of menthol than other mints, and has long been used to flavor tea, food, ice cream, and gum.
- Peppermint grows 2-3' tall and should be spaced about 12" apart. Peppermint is a vigorous grower that can spread uncontrollably. It is recommended that you plant Peppermint in containers or edged flower beds to limit growth. Peppermint is a great companion plant for your garden and repels harmful insects.
- Plant 3-5 Peppermint seeds just below soil surface in partial shade and provide damp soil. Avoid getting water on the plant itself as this can cause disease. If planting outside remember that Peppermint will not germinate unless soil is at least 65 degrees. Germination usually takes 2-4 weeks.
- Seeds are extremely small, at almost 500,000 seeds per oz, so be careful while handling and ensure you do not wash seeds away when watering
