    Hmmm...I've a feeling that that variety is sterile...so you'll need to buy plugs

      I'd buy neither. I'd find out who has some, and take cuttings. They will root in a few days.

        thank you both.

        looks like it'll be the grown plants if i cant get seeds. I dont know anyone that has one, i was talking to me lottie neighbour the other day and he didnt know you could get them, so i doubt others on the lottie will have them, i havent seen any around the other plots when i went for a nosy the other day. i suppose once i but a plant i can then make loads of cuttings!

        i'm quite good at getting mint cuttings to root, lol, which doesnt say much about my gardening skills, since its so easy to do!

        thankyou for your advice!

            Well, you could always ask on here and offer to send an SAE in return for some cuttings....

                    anna, I have lots of chocolate mint and you can gladly have some
                    buuut, I have never taken cuttings before so if someone can give me an idiots guide as to the best way to do it that would be grand

                      You can also take root cuttings (see link in my post a bit further down)

                        Excellent Two Sheds, thank you, now for posting would I just wrap the stems in wet tissue and stick them in a jiffy bag?
                        anna, pm me and some cuttings will be yours

                              Tissue then cling film is good, you don't want to soak the Jiffy bag
