Wild Mint Seeds (MENTHA ARVENSIS)

Wild Mint Seeds — Mentha arvensis

Also known as Field Mint or Corn Mint, this intensely aromatic perennial has been treasured for centuries — from ancient mythology to modern herb gardens. Crush a leaf between your fingers and you'll understand why: a cool, clean, unmistakably minty rush that lingers long after harvest.

Why Grow Wild Mint?

• Culinary powerhouse — Fresh leaves add bright, spicy mint flavor to sauces, jellies, teas, and meat seasonings
• Natural medicine cabinet — Brewed as a tea, it supports digestion, soothes coughs and colds, and eases indigestion
• Garden multitasker — Acts as a natural insect repellent; crushed flowers rubbed on clothing help keep gnats and bugs at bay
• Home freshener — Tuck dried leaves in drawers, sprinkle on carpets, or add to laundry to keep moths away and freshen any space
• Easy to grow — Tolerates full sun to part shade, adapts to moist or slightly dry soil, and established plants handle late-summer drought with ease

Sowing Guide

• Sow in Spring (Feb–May) or Autumn (Sept–Oct)
• Scatter seed thinly on the surface of moist seed compost — fine seed, so mix with a pinch of sand for even distribution
• Press lightly into compost; keep moist and shaded; water from below
• Germination: 14–21 days at 20°C (68°F)
• Transplant when seedlings have 4–5 true leaves into 15cm (6in) pots
• Harden off outdoors for 10–15 days before planting out after last frost
• Space 30cm (12in) apart in full sun or part shade; pinch tips to encourage bushy growth

Harvesting & Use

• Pick leaves as needed throughout the season
• Harvest tops and leaves when flowers bloom for drying — perfect for winter teas
• Use fresh or dried as a spice, seasoning, or medicinal herb
