• It is also a lovely plant for container growing, making it suitable for patios, balconies and small gardens.

Sowing Instructions

• Sowing time under cover: March
• Sow Peppermint seeds in a greenhouse or under cover in March to raise seedlings. Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Press the seeds gently onto the surface of moist seed compost and keep them warm and evenly moist.
• Plant seedlings outdoors in May to June, once they are strong enough and conditions are mild. Peppermint grows well in a sunny or partially shaded position with moist, fertile soil.
