Description
Peppermint is like that cool, minty girlfriend who breezes into a room and instantly freshens the vibe. She’s all crisp leaves, soft green hues, and that unmistakable tingle that wakes up your senses in the gentlest way.
In the garden, peppermint grows with this carefree confidence — little serrated leaves spreading out like she’s making herself comfortable, sending that fresh aroma drifting through the air every time you brush past. She’s resilient, a little wild, and honestly kind of magical.
Botanical uses? Peppermint is the multitasking queen:
Steep her leaves for a soothing, tummy-loving cup that feels like a hug with a cool breeze.
A few drops of peppermint-infused oil can give tired feet or tight muscles a refreshing sigh of relief.
Chew a leaf, and she’ll perk up your breath instantly.
Crush a leaf between your fingers and inhale — she’ll gently shoo away brain fog.
Her scent helps keep unwanted little critters at bay, all while looking effortlessly lush.
Peppermint seeds are tiny — almost like specks of dust.
Start them early in Spring, indoors or in a warm sheltered spot – They love a cosy, controlled beginning.
Skip heavy soil — peppermint seeds like something soft and airy. Peppermint seeds need light to germinate, so keep them on the surface.
Moisture should feel like morning dew — consistent, light, and not drowning them, so mist rather than overhead water these little ones. Covering the pot with cling film or a humidity dome helps them stay cosy.
Peppermint seeds can be a little slow and shy. Expect sprouting in 10–16 days (sometimes up to 3 weeks)
Tiny green specks will appear like fairy sprouts. Transplant once seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves and sturdy little stems.
