Menthe pomme BIO en plants - Mentha suaveolens Applefruit
The packaging has effectively protected the mini plugs. The plants are healthy and in good condition. For now, I will plant them in a pot and wait for them to grow.

Apple Mint - Mentha suaveolens 'Applefruit' is a variety of mint with leaves that emit a fragrance reminiscent of green apple. This hardy, perennial herbaceous plant can be grown in the ground or in a pot. It will reach a height of 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24in). Its leaves can be used to flavour desserts and are also delicious when infused in tea or hot chocolate. The plug plants of this variety are produced using organic methods. They should be planted in spring (from April to June) for a harvest from March to October.
Mint is an aromatic bushy plant with highly fragrant foliage. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family, like lemon balm. It is best planted in a partially shaded location but can thrive almost anywhere. It should be grown for two or three years, after that it tends to become less productive. Choose the planting location carefully because mint spreads rapidly thanks to its trailing roots. You can also grow it in a pot, which allows you to control its spread. It is ideal for planting in the vegetable garden as mint is known to repel unwanted garden insects such as aphids, ants, and certain rodents. As for leaf harvest, it can be done throughout the year, mainly from March to October.
There are many varieties of mint, the most well-known being spearmint, peppermint, pennyroyal mint, and lemon mint. Depending on the variety, the leaves will offer a range of aromas. In cooking you can use mint leaves in appetizers and desserts, to flavour salads and raw vegetables, summer grills, yogurt-based sauces, or fruits. The leaves are also delicious when infused in tea or hot chocolate.
Harvest: Harvest the leaves as needed. Choose the largest leaves and cut the entire stem to encourage regrowth. It is best to harvest in the morning to best enjoy the aromatic qualities. If you want to dry the leaves, pick the stems before flowering.
Storage: It is better to use freshly cut leaves. If you are not using the leaves fresh, dry the stems and store the leaves in a tightly closed jar, protected from light.
Gardener's tip: If you want to plant mint in the vegetable garden while limiting its spread, plant it in a pot and bury the pot in the middle of your garden! Choose a large enough pot and divide the clumps regularly, in autumn or spring.
Harvest
Plant habit
Foliage
Plant in spring (from April to June) or at the end of summer (August to September). For best results, choose a partially shady location, although mint can be planted almost anywhere.
First, let the plug plants grow on by transplanting them into trays or 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5in) diameter pots filled with compost. Place them in a warm and bright spot and water regularly.
In the ground: Mint likes rich, fertile, and moist soil. If your soil is poor, add well-rotted compost a few months before planting, by working it into the soil to a depth of 5 cm (2in).
Space the plants 40 cm (16in) apart in all directions. Soak the plug plant in water for a few moments before planting. Dig a hole, place the plug plant, and cover the roots with fine soil. Firm and water to keep the soil moist. Water moderately, mainly in high temperatures.
In a pot: Place a layer of gravel at the bottom of the pot to aid drainage. Fill it with compost, gently place the plug plant, and cover the roots with soil. Firm and water to keep the soil moist. During cultivation, water regularly, about once a week (or more in periods of drought). Repot every year.
At the end of autumn, cut the stems to 10 cm (4in) above the ground to encourage new growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
