Gardeners Dream

Spearmint is the quintessential culinary herb cultivated primarily for the bright, refreshing aroma found in its pointed, serrated green leaves. This versatile flavour, which is sweeter and much less pungent than the sharp heat of peppermint, is released abundantly when the foliage is chopped or muddled. It is traditionally used as the classic accompaniment to roast lamb in mint sauce, a key ingredient in cocktails like mojitos and juleps, and a refreshing addition to peas and new potatoes. This plant is typically grown as a vigorous, upright, hardy perennial that spreads rapidly via aggressive underground runners. It is extremely robust and frost-tolerant, dying back to the ground in winter and returning reliably in spring. For the best results and lush growth, plant it in a location with partial shade, though it will also manage in full sun if kept damp. It is not drought-tolerant and thrives in fertile, heavy soil that is kept consistently moist through regular watering.
