Hybrid Mint Plants
There are many Hybrid varieties of mint plants. Here at Fragrant Fields we are happy to be the only source for Westerfield Hybrid Mint Plants in the U.S.A. Jim Westerfield and his wife Marilyn, friends of Fragrant Fields for many years, owned and operated a thriving, nationally recognized bed and breakfast serving 7 course gourmet meals which incorporated the herbs he grew there. During his "spare time", developed a mint crossbreeding program which gave birth to some most interesting new hybrid mints. He has since retired and we are proud to be able to offer these to our customers.

Care of Mint Plants
Mint Plants grow in the range of 12 to 26 inches tall depending on the variety. Mint plants can grow in the shade but do best in part to full sun. Rich, moist soil is ideal for mint plants, but mint plants are not known for being picky about soil type. Mint plants can sometimes be bullies if planted in your garden. Some like to put multiple varieties of mint plants together in one area or bed to restrict them. Mint plants can also be easily container gardened. Eventually, though, the mint plant will become root bound in its container and will need to be divided. During mid to late summer, mint plants can tend to become a bit shabby and may need to be cut back to promote new growth.
