How long does it take to grow mint leaves?

Answer 1

In a garden it is best to harvest/pick them (1. time) when they are blooming (because you dont want them to set seeds, because those seeds will become plants with less taste, and mint spread enormusly fast) It is important when you pick them that you doesnt take them from the root but make sure there is still fresh leaves in the remaining piece of plant. It will then grow from those leaves very fast so you can pick them again later in the year. But mint is so easy to grow that it doesnt matter if you do something wrong - I just pick when i need them and just remove the flowers when they are just about to make seeds

Answer 2

You can begin picking individual leaves for home use about six weeks after getting the plant started. Large farms normally start mint in the early spring, grow it for about five months, then harvest it. Since it is a perennial, they normally leave the field in place for four or five years before production begins to decline.

Answer 3

If you have a plant that you bought or just the roots, it should start putting out new stems or shoots within about two weeks. Plant in a deep pot so that the roots have plenty of room to grow.

Answer 4

Mint takes about 4 weeks to grow up to about 1 foot

After you have planted the seeds just wait about 4 week and you will see results.
