HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil has warmed, pressing into the surface of the soil surface since this plant needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. If starting mountain mint seeds indoors, keep in mind that the best temperature for germination is 70 degrees F. Keep seedlings lightly moist, and transplant them as soon as they have developed several leaves.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, and control weeds. Mature plants tolerate drought well and flourish in fairly dry soil, though they will benefit from occasional watering in dry weather. This plant also grows well in rocky or clay soil. It can spread vigorously by rhizomes once established, though it does not usually reseed. This plant is extremely attractive to bees, and is a valuable nectar plant; it also grows well in containers.
Harvesting: This plant can be harvested for both fresh and dried use. Choose stems that are just beginning to bloom, cutting them in the morning before the dew has dried.
Seed Saving: When the flower spikes begin to dry and turn color, shake the entire plant's seed heads over a container to remove the seed. To collect the most pycanthemum virginianum seeds, repeat the process daily until all the seed has matured. Store mountain mint seeds in a cool, dry place.

I can't wait to see...
I really can't write a review on these seeds yet, because they are to be planted for next year. All I can say is that I always come back to Everwilde Farms Inc. for most of my seeds because they are always good seeds. The packaging is beautiful, and the seeds are always quickly mailed to me. I love that there is a Bible verse on each seed package. I'm expecting these seeds to be as good as all my previous purchases. Thank you.
