Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their final location after hardening off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorida Calamint thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Trim spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy shape. In colder zones, grow as an annual or overwinter indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Florida Calamint herb seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795494175030,"sku":"FOLIA2-013","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6660423358_epf6.jpg?v=1792670526","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/florida-calamint-herb-seeds-25-fragrant-lavender-blooms-pollinator-friendly","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
