How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Mint can be stubborn to germinate and is best started indoors. It is best to cold stratify them 3 to 4 weeks prior to the last frost. Surface sow the tiny seeds to allow light to reach them. Spray lightly with a spray bottle daily. Transplant or direct sow outdoors when temperatures are 65F or more. Mint can take over, so contain it in pots / containers.
