{"product_id":"moroccan-spearmint","title":"Seed Collection: Moroccan Spearmint","description":"Moroccan Mint (Mentha spicata var. crispa) is a pretty, compact variety of mint that looks good in your garden and can be used to flavour food, make tea or simply scent your patio! Moroccan mint tea is extremely popular in the Arab nations, where the drink often has a ceremonial purpose, especially when made for guests by the man of the house. As it combines imported ingredients (tea from China and imported sugar) with a local ingredient (fresh mint), Moroccan mint tea is an early example of globalization in cuisine. The tea, which is also known as Tuareg tea, is the subject of this apt proverb: ‘The first glass is as bitter as life, the second is as strong as love, the third is as soothing as death’.  \n\n\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUANTITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e50 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANT SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e20 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTAINER SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPANION PLANT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTomatoes, peppers, eggplants, alpine strawberries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor \u003c\/strong\u003eNot required\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor \u003c\/strong\u003eFeb-Mar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination \u003c\/strong\u003e7-15 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting \u003c\/strong\u003e40-60 days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPACING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen sowing \u003c\/strong\u003e1-3 cm; Depth 0,2 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen thinning \u003c\/strong\u003e3-5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSunligth \u003c\/strong\u003ePartial shade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u003c\/strong\u003eWell-drained, light and poor soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering \u003c\/strong\u003eRegular watering, not overdone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u003c\/strong\u003eAddition of fertilizer is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert tip \u003c\/strong\u003eMint can be grown easily from seed, but do not cover the seeds after sowing as they need light to germinate.
