Overview
A classic, refreshing flavor with culinary uses & health benefits.
Conditions
Spearmint thrives in partial to full sunlight and well-drained soil. Ensure that the soil is rich in organic matter.
Planting
Plant 2–3 seeds per starter pot indoors 8–10 weeks before transplanting in the spring or early fall (this allows the plant to establish itself before extremes of summer or winter). Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Thin to the one strongest, and transition outside (harden) 7 days before transplanting outdoors into a raised soil bed, leaving 2" of pot exposed.
Care
Keep the soil consistenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Mulching around the plants helps keep the soil cool and makes it easier to spot and prevent any stray stems from taking root. Regular pruning will keep your plant bushy and prevent it from becoming too leggy.
Pets and Disease
While spearment is a relatively hardy herb, it can be attacked by aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Address them using organic pest control methods when necessary. Here's a link to our favorite homemade insecticide soap recipe for plants! Powdery Mildew (white substance) on leaves can be avoided by ensuring good air circulation. Rust (orange and brown spots on leaves) can be controlled by removing affected leaves or an organic fungicide if the issue persists. Root rot can be avoided with proper drainage and not overwatering.
Harvest
Aim to harvest before the plant flowers, as the flavor may diminish afterwards and the best time of the day is in the morning when the essential oils that give it flavor are at their highest concentration. To dry, tie the stems together in small bundles and hang them upside down in a cool, dry place. Once dried, store the leaves in airtight containers.
