What's up with my mint?
By Llew

As you can see, it's lush, green, healthy and very firm, but it's not growing in height and all the leaves are really quite small. I thought mint grew tall with bigger, softer leaves? At least, the last lot I had did.
Or, are there different types I don't know about?
It's got plenty of room in its pot.

It's a good sized pot, Bamboo. Definitely a 10 incher. As for the name, I have no clue. They were just some seeds in a herb garden set from woolies and in plain bags.

I sowed the seeds in March and kept them indoors. Potted them up into 3 inch cells last month but it's been in this pot about 4 or 5 weeks now. It's growing, but only in bushiness, not height.

perhaps its just not a tall variety, perhaps you could split it or take a harvest if you think its old enough, maybe the next lot will be bigger

Mine look exactly the same Llew! Have you tried tasting one?

No, Linz. But they sure as heck smell like mint. :o)

Yours is looking better than mine! Is the pot too small for it, I mean the depth? Needs to be a minimum of 10 inches or more, pref. Unless you've bought one with 'nana' in the name (which means small)
