Mint Spicata aromatic plant in pot for kitchen

For your kitchen, we propose this small plant that will supply you with leaves of spearmint whenever you need them to flavor your creations at the stove or your dishes.

Spearmint is a perennial plant, easy to cultivate, very resistant, invasive, and thrives in different climates. It can grow both in full sun and in shaded areas, but it is important to avoid transplanting it into heavy or clay soil. It suffers from water stagnation, but in the summer it should be watered abundantly and regularly. Transplantable from February to the end of September.

Spearmint is distinguished from peppermint only by its much more delicate fragrance. This is why spearmint is more commonly used in cooking than peppermint. This fragrant herb has always been a symbol of hospitality. Rubbing the leaves on the kitchen table scents it before serving lunch to guests. A few drops of essential oil on the pillow keep mosquitoes away at night.
