Spearmint - Mint Seeds

Spearmint delivers a bright, sweet-mint flavor with gentler menthol than peppermint—perfect for mojitos, iced tea, tzatziki, lamb, and fruit salads. Upright, spear-leafed stems are vigorous and spreading; it spreads quickly and may become invasive—grow in containers or give it a dedicated bed to keep it in bounds. Summer flower spikes feed bees and other beneficials. Snip young tips for the most tender leaves; they dry well and freeze beautifully. Long used as a calming, digestive tea and simple breath freshener. Keep it cut to stay lush and branching for an easy, steady supply from spring through frost—clean, refreshing, and indispensable in the kitchen.
