Planting
- Mints are vigorous perennials that thrive in light soil with good drainage.
- Ideally, they prefer a moist but well-drained site, something like their native habitat along stream banks.
- Most will grow in sun or partial shade; the variegated types may require some protection from direct sun.
Where is the best place to grow mint?
Where: Mint performs its best in full sun, as long as the soil is kept moist, but it also thrives in partial shade. Mint is considered an invasive plant, because it sends out “runners” and spreads vigorously.
Can you plant mint outside?
Mint is a hardy perennial that's not really worth growing from seed, as it's so easy to grow from root cuttings or young plants planted in the spring or autumn. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil in light shade where the roots will stay moist but never become waterlogged.
