To sow and grow peppermint, start by selecting a location that receives partial to full sunlight and has well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. You can choose to plant seeds, but it's often easier to use cuttings or small plants, as peppermint is known for its vigorous growth.

If using seeds, sow them in spring, lightly covering them with soil and keeping them consistently moist until they germinate, which may take a couple of weeks. If you're using cuttings, place them in soil or water until roots develop, then transplant them into the ground or pots. Water the plants regularly to maintain moist soil, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to waterlogging.

As peppermint grows, it can become invasive, so consider planting it in containers or using barriers to contain its spread. Regularly harvest the leaves to encourage bushier growth and enjoy the refreshing aroma and flavour of your homegrown peppermint!
