Planting Instructions (from a 3.5" pot into the ground):

1. Timing: Plant in spring after the last frost, or in early fall while soil is still warm.

2. Location: Choose a sunny to partially shaded site with rich, moist, well-draining soil.

3. Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and equal in depth.

4. Planting: Remove the plant from its pot, gently loosen roots, and place it so the crown is level with the soil surface.

5. Backfill: Fill the hole with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.

6. Spacing: Space 18–24 inches apart; consider planting in containers or barriers in the ground to control spread.

7. Aftercare: Keep soil consistently moist during the first season. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering if you want maximum leaf production.

🌿 Apple Mint is a sweetly aromatic and useful herb that brings both culinary versatility and ornamental charm to the garden, while attracting pollinators and thriving with minimal care.
