Mentha spicata?

im about to grow a Mentha spicata(a spearmint plant) i was wondering how long that will take for it to sprout and how tall it will get

Mentha spicata?
I have mentha growing in my yard..I'm not sure if it's mentha spicata or not. Anyway, it's a low-growing, trailing type of plant. I've transplanted it successfully (roots grow along the stem where it meets the ground). Be careful where you plant it, it can be invasive.
Reply:It doesn't get much taller than 4 inches, but spreads to fill whatever area is moist. Roots at nodes so is easy to transplant.



I don't know about how long to sprout. I get mine as cuttings when I find it.
Reply:It doesn't take too long, but if yoy want to maximise the flavor,don't let it flower.Take off the flower heads.It doesn't get very big upwards,but it does spread.
