Planting Tips:
Start seeds indoors for best results, as peppermint can be slow to germinate. Press seeds lightly into the soil and do not cover deeply, as light helps with germination. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Peppermint spreads easily, so consider growing in containers to control growth. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage fresh, new growth.
