Planting and care

  • Minimal care is needed for mint
  • For outdoor plants, use a light mulch

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Harvest Season
  • Frequent harvesting is the key to keeping mint plants at their best. Young leaves have more flavor than old ones, and mint can be harvested as soon as it comes up in spring. Although fresh is best and sprigs keep for a few days in water, mint leaves can be frozen or air-dried in bunches.
  • Right before flowering, cut the stems 1 inch from the ground. You can harvest one mint plant two or three times in one growing season.
  • You can also just pick the leaves as you need them.
  • You can grow the plants indoors for fresh leaves throughout the winter. If you want to dry them, it, s best to cut the leaves right before flowering. Store the dried leaves in an airtight container.
