Mr Fothergill's Mint Seeds, Traditional, all purpose ‘garden mint’. Mint is best grown in containers or contained within a bottomless pot sunk into the ground. This prevents roots spreading unnecessarily.

Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm deep, thinly in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C.is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm apart. Or sow outdoors for ease, thinly where they are to crop, 0.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil. Thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Harvesting: Cut the leaves as required. Mint is best grown in containers or contained within a bottomless pot sunk into the ground, to prevent roots spreading unnecessarily.
