Hi folks,
The harsh winter seems to have had a debilitating effect on my mint
patch. Usually as June approaches I have swathes of mint, however,
this year there seems to be a drastic lack of growth of new plants. I
have seen various varieties of potted mint available in the
supermarkets but the instructions say that these should be kept in a
warm sunlit spot, ideally indoors and besides a window. Has anyone
transplanted these plants outdoors and to good effect ? I really would
like to get the mint patch flourishing again and I am having trouble
finding mint plants specifically for outdoor planting.

Thanks !

I've had good results from planting out supermarket herbs. They are a bit
frail at first, long and leggy from being forced, but once they establish
in the ground they can be cut back a bit and will usually do well.

We have found that once you get them home and split them, there are two,
three or more plants which go on to be very good.

As I have said before, you can SEE what you are buying :-)))

Shop local
