What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Add fresh flavor and fragrance to your home garden with Spearmint (Mentha spicata) from Survival Garden Seeds. One of the most popular and versatile herbs, spearmint is prized for its cool, sweet aroma and wide range of culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal uses. Whether grown in a pot on your windowsill or outdoors in a garden bed, spearmint offers a continuous supply of vibrant, aromatic leaves.

Aromatic, Flavorful, and Refreshing
Spearmint’s bright green leaves carry a smooth, refreshing flavor that’s milder and sweeter than peppermint. Ideal for making herbal teas, garnishing drinks, flavoring dishes, or crafting homemade remedies, this classic herb is a must-have for any kitchen or wellness garden. Its pleasant scent also makes it a great choice for natural skincare or aromatherapy projects.

Easy to Grow & Perfect for Containers
A vigorous grower, spearmint quickly establishes strong roots and spreads through runners. To keep it manageable, many gardeners prefer growing spearmint in pots or containers where it thrives with minimal care. It grows well indoors with sufficient light or outdoors in full to partial sun and moist, well-drained soil.

Why Gardeners Love Spearmint:

  • Fragrant & flavorful: Perfect for teas, recipes, and natural remedies.
  • Vigorous grower: Produces abundant leaves for continuous harvest.
  • Container-friendly: Grows beautifully indoors or outdoors.
  • Versatile herb: Useful for culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal purposes.

How to Grow:

  1. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors.
  2. Keep soil moist and provide full to partial sunlight.
  3. For container growth, choose a wide pot to contain spreading roots.
  4. Harvest leaves frequently to encourage new growth and best flavor.
