"Planted these in a hydroponics bin. I'm not sure if mint grows well in hydro, it's growing very slowly. I also planted spearmint, and that is not growing well at all. Any suggestions? In the picture, spearmint is closest, then parsley, then organic peppermint."
"Waiting on these to pop up. I absolutely love all my mint plants, very much looking forward to hopefully adding this to my mint garden"
"Great seeds!"
"I’ve never grown anything with such small seeds so I wasn’t even sure where to begin. I decided to try a few different techniques to see which one I could get seedlings from. The winner: on a moist paper towel placed on the windowsill. It took a few weeks but I managed a few seedlings which were moved into soil under a plant lamp. I ran out of time before I had to post my review but so far so good. These particular seeds takes few months to reach maturity."
"I’ve historically had no luck growing herbs from seed, but these little guys are honestly trying their best despite my ineptitude! Thanks to Ferry-Morse for giving me the chance to fix my terrible record of herb-growing!"
"Ferry Morse Organic Peppermint Seeds exceeded my expectations! The seeds germinated quickly, and the plants grew robust and healthy. The minty aroma and flavor are perfect for teas and culinary uses. Highly recommend for any herb garden!"
"I wasn't sure what to think at first, I planted my seeds and waited two weeks and nothing seemed to be happening. Then it seemed almost overnight I woke up and had tiny sprouts popping up everywhere. The seeds were so little I think I put about 20 per pod and they are all bloomintg like crazy now. I am not sure yet on the outcome of the flavor of the peppermint as it isn't at all ready to harvest, but I certainly am impressed with the germination rare thus far. I am excited to have fresh peppermint available soon!"
"Took more than a month to grow these but very hardy and strong mint flavor. No growing difficulty. Just follow instructions. Quality taste and pretty plant even if not eating."
"I’ve been a huge fan of Ferry-Morse seeds for quite a few years now! Easy to grow, great instructions, and a BEAUTIFUL multitude of plants from every seed. By far a better product than any other brand of seeds I’ve tried."
"These seeds were really fun to germinate, almost all did and it’s very satisfying to watch them grow into something I can actually use. I love the flavor of peppermint and this is growing like crazy!"
