Planting Instructions

Plant mint indoors, outdoors, or in containers. Mint is an aggressive grower. If left unchecked, in a year or two, it will take over a garden space. Give it it's own garden or plant in a container.

Sow seeds 1/4” deep in spring in a location with full or partial sun. Or, start indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Germination may take up to a month.

Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8-12” apart.
