Tips for Growing Spearmint:
Spearmint grows vigorously and can spread quickly—plant it in a pot or contained garden bed to prevent it from taking over.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Harvest the top leaves often to encourage fuller, bushier growth.
It can be grown indoors in a sunny window or outside once the danger of frost has passed.
 
A few fresh leaves can elevate a glass of lemonade, a summer salad, or a warm cup of tea!
