Mint Spicata

Mint ‘Spicata’, commonly known as spearmint, is a classic garden herb with a fresh, sweet flavour and bright green leaves. A staple in many kitchens, it’s perfect for sauces, salads, teas, and drinks, offering a milder taste than peppermint.

This vigorous and easy-to-grow herb is ideal for containers, raised beds, or garden borders. Best grown in pots to control its spreading habit, it produces an abundance of fresh leaves for regular harvesting throughout the season.

Growing Conditions:

• Position: Full sun to partial shade
• Soil: Moist, well-drained soil
• Height & Spread: Approx. 30–60cm height (spreading habit)
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK
• Care: Keep well-watered; harvest frequently to encourage new growth

An essential herb for any garden, spearmint is perfect for everyday cooking, traditional mint sauce, and refreshing summer drinks.
