Growing tips

Mint is a very proliferating plant and can take over entire beds due to the formation of root runners. This makes it easy to propagate via cuttings. If you grow mint from seeds, you should not cover them with soil, but only lightly press and water, as mint is a light germinator. The leaves can be harvested throughout the summer. The best time to harvest them whole, e.g. for drying, is just before flowering in June. If you harvest whole stems, you can tie them together and hang them up to dry.
