I'm an introvert so it's difficult for me to leave a comment.
I do enjoy doing business with you because you are trustworthy and dependable.
Thank you!

I started these off in my Aerogarden—3 seeds per pod in 2 pods—and both pods sprouted within a week. I let them continue to grow in the Aerogarden for maybe about 6 weeks before transplanting them into pots, and I've been clipping leaves from it here and there to use in my tea or just to munch on, but mostly, I just love the smell of mint in my home. I think they taste good, but peoples opinions on that will vary, obviously.
They are quite happy with in their little pots with a little grow light above them, and I am quite happy with them as well!

Very pleased with the results. Like any perennial it grows very slowly but reliably. I do recommend it. :-)

- Juan S.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 starsFeb 23, 2026Maybe 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!
