The Detail

Mint Peppermint Heirloom Seeds for the Home Garden

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a fast-growing, intensely aromatic herb with the classic cool mint flavour, perfect for tea, cocktails, desserts and cooking. One of the easiest herbs to grow, it is so vigorous it is best given its own pot.

Key Features
  • Heirloom, open-pollinated variety.
  • Fast-growing and intensely aromatic.
  • Grows in full sun to shade, in most soils.
  • Approximately 250 seeds per packet.
Pure Standard
  • Open-pollinated, so it is the last packet you need to buy. Heirloom seed comes true from saved seed, unlike hybrids. Let one plant go to flower and you have mint forever, which is the whole argument for heirloom over the supermarket seed rack.
  • Sourced locally in small batches to keep germination rates high, according to The Little Veggie Patch Co. Seed loses viability sitting in a warehouse.
  • The most forgiving thing we sell. Mint grows in sun or shade, in almost any soil, and recovers from neglect. If someone is nervous about growing anything, this is where to start.
  • A paper packet, and nothing else. No plastic, no pot, no waste.
  • Honest note. No chemical seed treatment is noted on this listing, but the brand does not publish a treatment statement either way, so we are not claiming untreated.

Our Take

The bully of the herb garden: wildly aromatic, near impossible to kill, and best kept in its own pot before it stages a takeover. Heirloom and open-pollinated, so you can save seed from it and never buy mint again, which is fortunate because you will never be rid of it either.
