Mentha longifolia Seeds – Horse Mint, Silver Mint, Wild Mint
General Description
Mentha longifolia, commonly known as Horse Mint, Silver Mint, or Wild Mint, is a highly aromatic perennial herb native to Europe, Africa, and Asia. Known for its silvery-green, lance-shaped leaves and strong minty fragrance, this hardy species is widely used for culinary, medicinal, and ornamental purposes. It is highly attractive to pollinators and thrives in various growing conditions, making it an excellent addition to herb gardens.
Plant Characteristics
Horse Mint is a vigorous-growing perennial that reaches 50–100 cm in height, forming dense clumps. Its silvery-green leaves are covered in fine hairs, giving them a soft, textured appearance. In summer, the plant produces spikes of pale purple to lilac flowers, which attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. The strong mint aroma makes it a natural pest repellent.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil but adapts to various conditions, including sandy and loamy soils.
• Light: Grows best in full sun to partial shade.
• Watering: Requires moderate watering; thrives in damp areas but is drought-tolerant once established.
• Temperature: Hardy in temperate to warm climates; survives light frost.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the soil surface or lightly cover with soil. Keep moist and maintain 18–24°C for germination in 2–3 weeks.
