Peppermint Seeds

Ready to add a touch of festive flair to your herb garden? Plant some peppermint seeds and watch your space come alive with the scent of the holidays. Peppermint, a must-have for any kitchen garden, is not only delightful to the senses but also a versatile addition to drinks, salads, and baked goods. Plus, it’s a natural pick-me-up for an upset stomach when brewed in hot tea.

As a perennial plant, peppermint reaches up to 3 feet tall and will spread as wide as you allow, making it a lively green addition with purple-tinged edges. Come summer, you’ll see spikes of lilac-pink flowers that bees can’t resist. Just make sure to provide it with plenty of sunshine and well-drained soil, and you’ll be set for success.

Although peppermint loves to stretch its legs, it’s wise to keep it in a container if you’re tight on space or don’t want it mingling with other plants. It thrives in pots, ensuring you’ll have an abundant supply for your kitchen and enough to share with friends eager to start their own aromatic gardens.

Growing mint from seed can be tricky, but with the Park’s Original Bio Dome Seed-Starting System, you’ll find it’s a breeze. Simply place a seed in each bio sponge, cover with the dome, and in 7 to 14 days, you’ll see green sprouts. If you’re going old school with seed flats, keep them moist, cover with plastic, and maintain a cozy temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit or above.

Kick-off your peppermint journey about 6 weeks before the last frost if you’re planning to transplant in spring. In no time, about 3 weeks post-transplanting, you’ll be ready to harvest. The plant grows so quickly that you’ll have a continuous supply throughout the summer and fall. Just remember to leave a few leafy stems behind, and you’ll never run out of this minty marvel.

This peppermint is a proud Park Seed product, and we’re excited for you to experience the joy of growing it in your garden! So, get ready to enjoy a bountiful, fragrant harvest that’s just a seed away. Packet contains approximately 1.5 grams.
