Commonly Asked Questions
Will mint come back every year?
Mint is a herbaceous perennial, meaning it dies back over winter and re-sprouts every spring, allowing it to live for many years. It's very easy to propagate new plants by taking root cuttings or dividing existing plants.
Does mint like sun or shade?
Mint thrives best in full sun to partial shade conditions. Plant it early in the growing season for optimal results. It prefers moist soil but can suffer from root and leaf diseases if overwatered.
Where is the best place to plant mint?
For optimal growth, plant mint in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Growing mint in a pot is advisable to prevent it from competing with neighbouring plants, as it can be invasive.
Where should I put my mint plant in my house?
A kitchen windowsill with southern exposure is ideal for indoor mint growing. It provides easy access while cooking and ensures sufficient light and air circulation. Rotate the pot weekly to ensure all sides of the plant receive ample sunlight.
Does mint plant spread?
Mint spreads rapidly through underground runners, known as rhizomes, and can quickly overtake garden beds, out-competing nearby plants. To control its spread, it is best grown in containers, even if planted in the ground.
