Somewhere, sometime back in the dark ages, someone told me that mint grown from seeds does not breed true. That mint has to be grown from a cutting? Is that true?

woah now isn't this weird! i was just looking up the peppermint plant just yesterday! i got some seeds for peppermint and they smell soooo good (i have some extra if you want some) and i was looking up on what to do for them and how to plant them and i found that real peppermint doesn't produce seeds and that if you want real peppermint to go somewhere where there is real peppermint and dig it up and plant it. here's a couple of sites i looked at yesterday...maybe they can help you some :-)

Wow, that is strange. I wonder what they consider to be 'real' peppermint? I have a packet of peppermint seeds from Richters (IMHO the worlds finest herb catalogue!!!) and someone gave me some from Home Depot. Now I'm wondering what I've got...

Ooh, ooh, ooh -- I'm drooling over all the lovely mints at NoThyme (another awesome herb seller)
