How to Sow
- Fill pots or cell trays with compost and press down to firm the soil
- Take a pinch and sprinkle thinly into each pot or cell
- Cover the seeds with 0.5cm of compost, pat down and gently water
Plant Care
- Once seedlings are a few inches tall, they can be transplanted to a container or into larger pots
- Mint plants can be transplanted outdoors from early Spring
- Mint like full sun or partial shady spots
- Mint will go dormant during the Winter, when it can be a good time to do some pruning
AllotMe’s Tips
- Many people buy mint plants, but you can start mint by sowing seeds in a cell tray or pots indoors during Winter
- Mint can be an invasive plant species so choose carefully for your final transplanting location, as it has a tendency to take over!
