Hummingbird Mint has erupted into a rainbow of brilliant color! This mix of compact, very evenly sized plants in 5 luscious shades is guaranteed to please the nose as well as the eye, with aromatic foliage and tube-shaped blooms just right for a hummingbird's long, slender beak. Flowering heavily even the first year from seed, Fragrant Carpet Mix is a boon to any sunny garden or patio container!
In this mix you get pastel tones of pink, rose, lilac, tangerine, and lemon, complementing one another nicely and adding soft color to any setting. The foliage is attractive too, releasing its heady mint scent as the weather warms and calling bees and butterflies to visit as well as hummingbirds. Jut 12 to 18 inches high and up to a foot wide, this Hyssop is compact enough for containers, but makes a big impression wherever it is planted.
Tolerant of heat, humidity, drought, and poor soil, Fragrant Carpet Mix is a great choice for carefree garden spots such as meadow areas, slopes, the edge of the driveway, and sidewalk plantings. It makes a cheery companion to vegetables, its scented leaves repelling some destructive pests from eating your crops. The blooms begin in midsummer in most climates and continue through mid-fall, and it's hard to miss them when they're gone, with that aromatic foliage perfuming the air!
This Hummingbird Mint flowers the first year from seed, so it can be grown as an annual anywhere. To sow, place the seeds on top of the Bio-sponge in your Bio-Dome or on the seed-starting medium in seed flats or pots. They need light to germinate, and should sprout within a month at temperatures of 60 to 68 degrees F. Transplant them when they have at least 2 sets of full leaves, spacing the seedlings about 9 inches apart in the garden, somewhat closer in containers. Sunshine and heat do wonders for their growth!
Fragrant Carpet Mix is the ideal patio plant too, its combination of minty scent and long-lasting blooms adding a freshness to the setting. Try a pot or two this season, or combine in tubs and windowboxes with unscented annuals. You'll love the effect!
Strong, upright stems are topped with spikes of small blooms that are excellent for cutting. Grow as an edging, in borders, or in mass in the landscape. Fragrant, triangular to oval foliage covers the upright plants, which reach 30 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Tubular 1- inch blooms of rosy-pink are borne in 10-inch spikes from early summer till frost. The fragrant blooms are a magnet for birds and butterflies

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
