When to Seed Mountain Mint

Mountain mint should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Mountain Mint

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. Think woodland areas with fertile, moist soil. This perennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily spread and reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach two to three feet tall. 

Growing Mountain Mint

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and seven to 14 inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 18 inches. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Mountain Mint

Mountain mint can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinators and bird species that are attracted to it.

To collect Clustered Mountain Mint seeds, let the seed head dry on the plant. Once dried, cut the seed heads and put them into a bag. Shake vigorously and the seeds will separate themselves into the bottom of the bag. Store Mountain Mint seeds in a cool, dry place.
