Mentha spicata
Vigorous, fragrant herb. Best grown in containers to prevent spreading.
Contain in pots — it will take over a bed. Cut back in fall.
💧 Hydroponic Notes
Thrives in Kratky or NFT systems. Grows very fast — harvest frequently. Can be grown from cuttings placed directly in the net cup. Year-round production indoors.
Non-toxic to cats and dogs in normal amounts; essential oil concentrates are a different story and should be avoided.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
Well-established traditional and clinical evidence for digestive comfort (peppermint oil specifically) — see the Medicinal Herb Garden guide for preparation and cautions.
