I planted them in an outdoor planter and just about the time I was ready to admit defeat the tiny little sprouts began popping out.It's too early to say much in terms of smell, taste or even germination rate but so far so good.EDIT: About two months later and it's thriving (look at the picture). Smells great, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get it! Update 2023 *by on Reviewed in the United States August 2, 2022* I brought these in 2020 but they didn’t grow well on my window because of the soil. 2022 I decided to give them another try and planted them using a different soil on my window and after 10 days I started noticing them sprout and in a month I have a young Rue plants planted in a separate pot, i transplanted them while they were young and I didn’t have any problems with transplant shock. They seem to do well. Plus it is bug resistant. I’m glad I brought it.March 2023! I didn’t transplant them until around February 2023 and I didn’t see much growth but once I put all of them in a separate container they started to grow really fast. It took almost the year for me to get to the length that it did (last pic) because I neglected it. I also planted one outside and that died because of the heavy rain and frost we had in January or so I thought! A couple of weeks ago I went out to that spot and notice it was actually growing back again. So now I have about 10 rue plants! ### ⭐ This Is Not Peppermint *by on Reviewed in the United States June 14, 2025* I have a long Peppermint patch growing along side of my house. It's been growing there for over 50 years, back to when my grandparents lived in the house. A patch of it kind of died away and Ive been purchasing seeds from Amazon from this, and other vendors trying to regrow some Peppermint. Any batch of seeds they send is always wrong! Ive ordered regular mint, spearmint and Peppermint from them. I grow them and always end up with the same plant. First picture is what these seeds always grow. The leaves are wide. When it flowers the flowers are white. And if you put a leaf on your tongue it has some awful taste. No mint taste at all. Plant doesn't have any kind of minty smell either. Second and third pictures are straight up Peppermint. You walk by and smell it. Leaves are deeper green and skinnier, more wrinkles. And the flowers, which is hard to make out clearly in the third picture are purple, not white. Picture shows just barely enough blurry purple hue. Im going out with the weed Wacker to knock these down and will try some local greenhouses to see if I can find actual Peppermint seeds or plants. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/546868398-seed-needs-herb-seeds-to-plant-italian-large-leaf-basil](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/546868398-seed-needs-herb-seeds-to-plant-italian-large-leaf-basil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
