Menthe Verte AB (Mentha spicata) is a hardy perennial herb celebrated for its fresh, invigorating aroma and flavor. Widely used in culinary applications, it enhances beverages, desserts, and various dishes. Due to its vigorous growth and spreading rhizomes, it's advisable to cultivate it in containers or designated garden areas to manage its expansion.
Sowing: Sow seeds from January to April in a nursery or directly in the ground after the last frost.
Transplanting: When seedlings have several leaves, transplant them to a semi-shaded location in rich, well-drained, and cool soil, spacing plants 40 cm apart.
Watering: Regular watering to maintain soil moisture, especially during dry periods.
Harvest: Harvest leaves as needed from June to October, preferably before flowering for optimal flavor.
Other Considerations: To prevent invasiveness, consider planting in containers or using root barriers.
