Features & details
Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage. Spearmint resembles peppermint, though spearmint plants have bright green leaves that are pointed, and lavender flower spikes that grow up to 4 inches (10 cm.) long. When planted in ideal conditions, spearmint will reach a mature height and width of 12 to 24 inches (30 to 61 cm.). Spearmint has a distinctive scent, thanks to high quantities of a chemical compound called carvone. This terpenoid gives spearmint its sweet, subtle flavor. Mint in the garden should be mulched annually to keep the roots cool and moist. Potted mint does best when fertilized monthly during the growing season with a liquid fertilizer. Spearmint is not incredibly picky, but it prefers to grow in well-drained, moist, nutrient-rich soil with a pH balance around 6.5 to 7. Though it will grow in slightly higher or lower pH levels, 6.5 to 7 is the optimal range for healthy growth. Spearmint is commonly used medicinally to reduce the effects of irritable bowel syndrome, motion sickness, hiccups and nausea as well as other ailments. It is also a staple of the culinary arts, usually used to flavor meat, fish or vegetable dishes.
