Spearmint thrives with consistent moisture, fertile well-drained soil, and at least partial sun. It is best grown in containers or with root barriers to prevent invasive spreading. Pinch stems regularly to encourage bushy growth and delay flowering, which can reduce leaf flavor. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
