Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of heavy frost has passed. Direct seeding is recommended and can be done in early spring.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seeds indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 10 weeks before your first fall frost date. Direct seed in early fall and provide mulch if temperatures drop below 0F.
Growing Tips: Transplants should be hardened off before transplanting but can tolerate light frosts. It is recommended to grow this in a container due to its invasive nature in the garden. Pinch top of stems when harvesting to promote bushier plant growth.
Cut Flower: Mint can be used as greenery in floral arrangements adding a sweet, minty scent. The vase life is typically 5-7 days.
