Peppermint seed disc (Mentha piperita) - perfect for a pot

The Mentha Piperita disc seeds are part of the rich assortment offered by our online herbs catalog semenata.org, which is available to our customers now and for ordering through the site.

As an herb, the mint plant is famous for its freshness, its aroma, and taste, as well as its many beneficial properties.

We offer you the special seeds of this plant in the form of paper discs, to which the seeds themselves are attached during production. Since they are generally extremely small and it is difficult for many to judge whether they have planted them adequately in the appropriate pot or in the place in the yard and in the garden, with discs this becomes very easy.

Thus, any gardener - professional or amateur - can easily sow the special disc seeds of Mentha Piperita in the place chosen for her. It is good to level the soil layer beforehand, then you place the discs on it and cover them with a thin layer of soil by pressing lightly afterward. It is best to water it liberally as the discs need to dissolve for the seeds to start germinating.

Each packet contains one disc of Peppermint seeds. The discs are 10 cm in size. And if you sow the mint in pots, they should be at least 15 cm in diameter.

Peppermint Piperita (Mentha) is watered more often during the period of germination and its overall development further, but it should not be overwatered. The first watering is done when the seeds of the plant are sown.

A big plus of the aromatic herb is that it is easy to grow, adaptable, and does not require much care. A perennial plant, Piperita mint will always bring freshness to your home, whether you use it as an herb or spice, in tea, cooking, or simply in some exotic refreshing cocktail like the mint julep for example, whose recipe comes straight from the Mississippi River Delta in the USA.

The flowering of the aromatic and useful plant is at the height of summer in July and August. Fertilize only if the soil is poor in nutrients. Mint disc seeds germinate quickly, usually in two to three weeks after sowing the seeds. Indoors in pots, this can be done all year round, and outdoors from mid-March onwards after the danger of frost has passed.

The herb has a huge percentage of menthol content, especially in its leaf mass, which makes its essential oils extremely aromatic and beneficial. With mint leaves, you can make tea, or a cocktail or use them for cooking as a spice in a number of exotic dishes.

In addition to being fresh, the green herb can also be dried for later use. This is done by tying the stems and leaves in a bundle and placing it in places where there is good ventilation and no moisture. As soon as it dries, the leaves fall off the stems, which reach up to 30 cm in height. Store in glass containers or in a paper bag. See more herb Oregano plant seeds online.
