These flowers are usually pale pink, lilac, or white and bloom from mid to late summer. Spearmint requires consistent moisture. Keep the soil evenly damp, especially during dry periods. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, but also ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Spearmint thrives in full sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate some shade, more sunlight generally leads to a stronger flavor and more vigorous growth.
