Mountain Mint Seeds

Mountain mint is a non-hybrid mint variety. Many of the mint seeds sold in stores are for hybrid mints that do not produce true to seeds. Mountain mint is a hardy plant that is native to North America. The leaves produce a very nice menthol aroma.

The leaves and flowers are edible and can be used the same way as other mints. Mountain mint can be used to make a delicious tea, which also provides a host of health benefits, especially for fighting and getting over a bad cold or flu.

It’s also a great herb for attracting pollinators. As the name suggests it is a cold tolerant mint, and is hardy in zones 4 to 7.

How to Grow Mint From Seed
