Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade; performs well with 4–8 hours of sunlight daily.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, moist, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
• Planting: Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after last frost. Surface sow — seeds need light to germinate. Soil temperature should be at least 65°F.
• Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart; mint spreads vigorously so consider containers or raised beds to control spread.
• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mint prefers consistent moisture.
• Fertilizing: Light balanced fertilizer in spring; mint is not a heavy feeder and grows vigorously with minimal inputs.
• Support: No staking needed; low, spreading growth habit is self-supporting.
• Harvesting: Begin harvesting once plants are 4–6 inches tall. Cut stems just above a leaf node to encourage bushy regrowth. Harvest frequently for best flavor before flowering.
