Subtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g. B. Portugal, Spain, Italy)
We recommend direct sowing from January to April or in autumn from October to December. The ideal location for the plants is sunny to partially shaded.
Moderate climate (e. g. B. Germany, Switzerland, Poland)
Direct sowing from March to May is recommended. The ideal location for the plants is warm, sunny to partially shaded.

 General recommendations 
Direct sowing is recommended. After germination, thin out the plants to the specified plant spacing. A sunny location is possible, but the plants thrive best in partial shade in subtropical conditions.
Peppermint does not tolerate waterlogging.

 Additional tips 
Keeping the plants in pots is possible and often recommended to prevent them from spreading through root runners. Forms underground runners. In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and permeable soil with good nutrient and water storage capacity, additional incorporation of biochar and primary rock flour is recommended.

 Type of propagation 
Propagation occurs via seeds or root runners.

 Plant care 
It is advisable to cut the plants back at the beginning of the year. If natural spreading is not desired, the underground roots can be cut with a spade in the spring. During long dry periods, it is advisable to give the plants extra water. Fertilizer is only necessary for potted plants.
