Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost, or sow directly outdoors after frost danger has passed.

• Best grown in spring or early fall for optimal germination and growth.

2. How to Sow:

• Sow seeds barely covered on the surface of moist soil—light aids germination.

• Transplant or thin to 12–18 inches apart once seedlings are established.

3. Growing Tips:

• Grows well in containers to control spreading, as mint can be invasive.

• Prefers moist, well-draining soil.

• Cut back regularly to prevent flowering and promote fresh leaf growth.

• Harvest leaves as needed; best flavor is before flowering.

4. Uses:

• Fresh or dried for herbal teas, iced drinks, desserts, sauces, and more.

• Popular in natural remedies for digestion, stress, and colds.

• Companion plant that repels aphids, ants, and cabbage moths.
