Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them to their final location, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Spearmint can be invasive, so consider growing it in containers or using root barriers to control spread. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and trim plants to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering, which can reduce leaf flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 mg of Spearmint (\u003cem\u003eMentha spicata\u003c\/em\u003e) herb seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824778510646,"sku":"FOLIA2-1234","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6538007119_ld5d.jpg?v=1793004593","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/spearmint-herb-seeds-30-mg-mentha-spicata-aromatic-culinary-mint-for-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
