Korean Mint Seeds – A Fresh and Fragrant Herb for Your Garden

If you’re after a hardy, easy-to-grow herb with a fresh, slightly sweet aroma, Korean Mint (Agastache rugosa) is a fantastic choice. It’s got a lovely licorice-mint scent, grows tall with stunning purple flowers, and brings plenty of bees and butterflies to the garden. Whether you’re just starting out or have been gardening for years, this plant is a winner.

Why You’ll Love It

• Grows up to 1.2m tall with striking purple flower spikes.
• The leaves have a refreshing minty-licorice flavour, great for teas and garnishes.
• Tough as nails—handles drought, frost, and various Aussie climates.
• A magnet for bees and butterflies, which help pollinate your garden.

How to Grow Korean Mint

When to plant: Spring through late summer.
Where to plant: Loves full sun but will tolerate a bit of shade.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil, nothing too soggy.
Spacing: Give each plant around 30–40cm to spread out.

Planting Tips

1. Sprinkle the seeds onto damp soil—either straight into the garden or in trays.
2. Cover lightly with a fine layer of soil (about 3mm is plenty).
3. Keep the soil moist but don’t drown it—sprouts usually pop up in 10–14 days.
4. Once they’ve grown a bit, thin them out so they have space to breathe.
5. Water regularly but let the soil dry a little between drinks.

Once it’s established, Korean Mint is a set-and-forget kind of herb. Give it a light prune after flowering, and it’ll keep coming back year after year.
