  • Partial Sun

  • High

Applemint likes a position of partial sun and remember to water often. Applemint is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Growing Applemint from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.0 inches (0.01 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 65°C / 149°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Applemint about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Applemint

Applemint is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
