Spearmint (Mentha spicata) 60-90 days to maturity.      Spearmint is a hardy perennial herb known for its refreshing scent and flavor, perfect for culinary and medicinal use. Reaching a plant size of 18-24 inches tall and spreading up to 24 inches wide, spearmint features bright green, serrated leaves and delicate clusters of pale lavender to pink flowers. This versatile herb thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil.

Spearmint is a fast-growing plant that can spread vigorously and become invasive if you’re not careful, so it’s often best grown in containers or controlled spaces in the garden. Its aromatic leaves can be harvested fresh or dried for a wide range of uses, from teas and sauces to salads and desserts. Spearmint is also valued for its calming properties, often used in herbal remedies to aid digestion and relieve headaches.

Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, spearmint is a low-maintenance addition to any herb garden, producing fragrant foliage and lovely flowers throughout the growing season. A perfect choice for home cooks, herbalists, and gardeners looking to add a fresh, vibrant touch to their space.
