Many species of mint are available. Mint is considered an invasive plant and should be planted in a container. An exception would be if you wanted a mint ground cover. Regular watering and some nitrogen slow release fertilizer should see it though the season. Some varieties go dormant a bit later that others. Bring pots indoors to extend the season. Mint is delicious in salads, dressings, teas, seasoning and as a garnish. Our spearmint makes a mean Mochito, and our mint ‘the Best’ has a delightfully sweet, bright flavor for salads, tabouli and iced tea.
