Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) plant 

Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) is native to the Balkan Peninsula and Turkey.  Spearmint has a strong flavor and fragrance that is released with simple bruising. It's the best mint variety for hot and cold drinks.   Great for Mojitos.  Mints are known to spread.  If you want to keep plants contained, plant in a container without any holes.  This pot can be buried in the ground. 

Plants will be bare-root from late November through April, and in pots starting in April.  Plants in pots will be small in the spring and larger as the season progresses.

Some plants will flower in these pots, but most do not. Plants flower when they naturally flower for the period they naturally flower. Most flowers do not bloom year-round.

Plants are guaranteed to be healthy upon delivery. If you have a question or issue with the plant upon delivery, please message us and include a photo so we can address it. Things can happen during shipments that no one can control, but we insure all plants for these issues. After a healthy plant is delivered, we are happy to answer questions, but we cannot be held responsible for the care a plant receives.
