HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting on the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing.
Growing: This plant prefers medium or well-drained moist soil, though it adapts to rocky, clay, or sandy soil. Provide water for seedlings until they become established. Mature plants may need watering in dry weather. This plant attracts bees and butterflies.
Harvesting: Though edible, the leaves of hairy wood mint do not have the strength and quality of culinary mint. To dry the stalks, cut them at ground level and hang them upside down in a warm, dark place for several weeks.
Seed Saving: After flowering, the spikes will mature and turn brown. Shake the ripe seed heads over a container to remove the seed. Store the seed in a cool, dark place.
