How to care for Mentha spicata var. crispa Moroccan:
When plants have finished flowering in summer, cut flowered shoots back to 5cm (2in) above the surface of the compost. Mint can be vigorous in the garden so unless you want a large clump, you can contain it by planting it in a large pot. Do keep it well watered though.
Please note:
This herb dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
