Care Tips:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Peppermint enjoys a bit of humidity.

Mulching: Apply a light layer of organic mulch to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning: Regularly harvest or pinch off the tops to encourage bushier growth and to prevent the plant from becoming leggy.

Pest Control: Peppermint is generally resistant to pests, but keep an eye out for common garden pests and treat accordingly.

Winter Care: In zones 3-7, mulch heavily in the fall to protect roots during the winter. In zone 8, peppermint typically remains evergreen.

Location: Choose a spot with partial to full sun exposure. Peppermint thrives in a range of light conditions but prefers a bit of shade during the hottest part of the day.
Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-draining. Peppermint does not like to sit in waterlogged soil.
Spacing: Plant peppermint 18-24 inches apart to allow for spreading. Consider planting in containers or a dedicated herb garden to control spreading.
