Description

Aromatic herb with rapid growth, ideal for cooking and infusions.

Growing tips

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) needs abundant and regular watering, keeping the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged. Place it outdoors in a spot with direct sunlight for 3 to 7 hours a day, in a fresh, well-drained substrate. It is very hardy and tolerates frost down to -15 °C, making it ideal for Mediterranean gardens year-round. Plant it in spring or autumn and keep its growth in check, as it spreads quickly.
