The mint plant grows well in partial shade to full sun, making it versatile for different herb garden spots. In hotter climates, partial shade helps maintain soil moisture, preventing the plant from drying out and allowing the mint leaves to remain lush and aromatic.
Mint thrives in well-draining soil and grows well in pots or garden beds. Due to its spreading nature, planting mint in a container is ideal to keep it manageable. Placing the mint plant in an accessible spot near the kitchen allows you to conveniently pick fresh mint leaves for dishes like mint sauce.

Mint is prone to root rot if overwatered or grown in poor-draining soil. To prevent this, plant mint in a pot with drainage holes or amend garden soil with sand or perlite for better drainage. Ensuring the mint plant has adequate drainage keeps its roots healthy
Yes, mint is a hardy perennial that dies in winter and regrows in spring, ensuring a year-round supply of mint leaves. This makes mint an excellent choice for gardens and indoor herbs, providing fresh herbs for beverages, garnishes, and even homemade mint sauce.
