How to grow

Mint will grow nearly anywhere. You will have the most success if you grow mint in semi-fertile soil, in a partially shaded garden location.
Because it is so invasive, we strongly recommend container gardening when growing mint. It's far easier to control in containers Mix a little sand in with a good food-friendly potting.After your plants are established, consider mulching to help keep the roots cool, and the soil moist. Some, for those same reasons, will plant the entire pot or container in the ground. If you do this, you will want to leave a couple of inches of the pot sticking out of the ground. Also, keep a careful eye on the mint, and keep its stems trimmed well. When the stems reach the ground outside the container, they tend to root and spread.
As with most container grown plants, keep an eye on the soil so that it doesn't dry out. Nor do you want it soggy, as that invites fungus diseases and a host of other problems. Plan to fertilize once a month with a liquid fertilizer.
If you live in a gardening zone with relatively mild winters, you should be able to mulch your pot and place it in a sheltered location, and have it come back again in the spring.
Or, you can take the plant indoors to a sunny windowsill for a winter's supply of mint. It may die back a little at first, but it should come back shortly.
Mint will grow best and healthiest in moderately rich, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 However, it will grow in nearly any garden soil.
Planting
Plant your seeds when the ground has warmed. Sow the seeds by scattering them in your planting area, and lightly covering (1/4") with soil or seed starter. Spray (mist) to moisten the soil without washing away the seeds. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Once the seedlings appear, thin the plants to 1 foot appart.
Watering
Try not to let the soil dry out when growing mint. However, don't overwater, as soggy soil leads to plant disease problems. Try applying a layer of mulch to established mint plants, to keep the roots cool and to help the soil retain moisture.
