The listing, MINT (YERBA BUENA) 25+ SEED has ended.

Mint is a pretty flowering edible herb which grows well in most soils as long as it stays moist, not wet or soaking. Mulching is a great way to retain moisture which the herb enjoys. It tolerates partial shade as well as full sun. It grows so well in fact, it may just take over your garden and crowd out other plants if you are not careful to keep it in check. Most mint herb varieties can grow 2 to 3 feet high. As your herb flowers, remove them by hand otherwise they will reduce the amount of leaves your plant will grow. To harvest your mint herb, cut the leaves as you need them. Start with the top leaves to encourage the plant to shoot new leaves further down its stem. You can dry the leaves for later use but this does cause it to loose some flavor.
