Mint (Mentha spp.)
- Family: Lamiaceae (Mint family)
- Native Range: Exact origins are unknown, as mint has naturalized worldwide and has been cultivated for centuries in temperate and subtropical regions
- Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 6 and warmer, thriving in a variety of climates. Can survive down to zone 3 with proper winter protection, such as mulch or container overwintering
- Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun to part shade, though it grows well in shadier spots with slightly less vigor
- Growth Habit & Size: Grows as a lush, spreading herb, reaching 18 inches tall. Spreads indefinitely by underground stems (rhizomes), making it a vigorous grower that can quickly take over garden spaces if not contained
- Foliage: This common mint is not a specific variety, such as peppermint or spearmint. Mints readily cross-pollinate, so plants grown from seed may display a wide range of leaf shapes.
- Flavor Profile: Mint has a cool, refreshing aroma with herbal and slightly sweet undertones
- Great for Containers: Ideal for container growing to prevent unwanted spreading in garden beds. Can be grown indoors on a windowsill or patio for year-round access to fresh mint
