- Barbara S.NY, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/22/26Perfect
I'm growing these as scent plants to try to divert unwanted pests. They are a little slow and the germination however, once germinating they took off beautifully. I just up patted them into pretty pots for them to be out in the garden. We definitely suggest getting these if you want. Mint.

- Juan S.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars2/23/26Maybe Faulty Batch?
Ordered 6 different types of seeds and all grew amazingly well, so I was disappointed that the mint seeds were the only ones that didn’t bloom! I’ve tried about 4 times now, each with a different number of seeds. Funny considering everyone says mint won’t stop growing!
