Heirloom Mint Seeds for Culinary, Tea, and Herbal Gardens

About

Mint and Balm Seeds should help a gardener make a decision, not simply present a wall of packets. Mint-family herbs differ sharply in botanical identity and spread. Lemon balm, true mints, catnip, oregano, and thyme should not be treated as one crop simply because their leaves are aromatic. Begin with life cycle, season, root behavior, and water. Warm annual basil does not belong on the same schedule as cilantro. Lavender and rosemary cannot be watered like parsley. Onions and leeks are shallow rooted and ask for steady moisture, while established thyme and oregano resent wet feet. Featured mint and balm seeds Lemon Balm How we organize this collection Alliance of Native Seedkeepers uses botanical identity, harvest purpose, growth habit, and documented crop behavior to organize herb and allium collections. Traditional use is described as history and culture, not medical advice. Variety stories are not enlarged beyond the record. Use the linked field guides to compare germination, containers, pruning, harvest, seed saving, and regional timing. A good packet begins with a clear name. A good garden begins with a clear plan.
