Mint has long been the go-to herb for both beginners and expert gardeners. One of the easiest plants to grow, this vigorous and versatile herb is popular for its taste and scent and makes an ideal plant for containers placed on the patio, by the kitchen door, or perhaps on a balcony.
Mint is best planted and grown in pots and planters, where you can control its spread. While it would thrive in the garden borders, it can become invasive, so it is best to restrict its growth to your pot displays. Learning how to grow mint is relatively simple, and most mints prefer a part-sun-part-shade position and require moist and fertile soil.
