Planting and care

  • Minimal care is needed for mint
  • For outdoor plants, use a light mulch
  • This will help keep the soil moist and keep the leaves clean
  • For indoor plants, be sure to water them regularly to keep the soil evenly moist
  • Do When choosing a location for your mint, find one where the plant will receive morning sun and partial afternoon shade
  • Plant on a patio, in a container
  • When planting the herb in a flower bed, first submerge a container (either a pot, a mesh bag or edging to at least 5 inches deep), leaving the rim above ground level when potted, so the mint s fast-growing root system will be contained
  • Otherwise, the herb will take over your garden and lawn in an annoying weed-like fashion
  • Harvest mint sprigs before the plant flowers
  • To extend the harvesting season, pinch off the flowering buds as they appear
  • If planting your mint in a garden bed, apply mulch to help keep it from spreading
  • Locate mint plants fifteen inches apart, and thin them regularly
  • If planting your mint indoors, locate your container where it will receive good morning light but where it will also be away from drying heating elements
  • Don tDont Plant mint in an open bed without first submerging a vessel that will contain the herb s wild-growing roots
  • If planting mint in a bed using a submerged pot, be sure it s not cracked
  • The runners will find their way out and continue to spread
  • Plant the herb in super moist conditions where it wont dry out

Peppermint care

  • Mints are vigorous perennials that thrive in light soil with good drainage
  • Ideally, they prefer a moist but well-drained site, something like their native habitat along stream banks
  • Most will tolerate some shade, and the variegated types may require some protection from direct sun
  • For growing outdoors, plant one or two purchased plants (or one or two cuttings from a friend) about 2 feet apart in moist soil
  • One or two plants will easily cover the ground
  • Mint should grow to be 1 or 2 feet tall
  • For best growth in confined areas such as containers, topdress plants with a thin layer of compost or organic fertilizer every few months
  • Aboveground pots will need winter protection in cold climates
Sunlight Thrives best in full or partial sun.
