Not only is mint easy to grow, it's actually pretty hard to get rid of. It's a perennial that returns year after year, preferring moist soil and shade. Mint is a sterile hybrid that doesn't produce seed and needs to be propagated by cutting, divisions and layering. If you grow mint in a container, it needs to be about 12" deep. Mint loves rock gardens, especially pennyroyal.

Other varieties of mint include apple mint, orange mint, black peppermint, peppermint, spearmint, pineapple mint, ginger mint, curly mint, and Corsican mint. Each has its own unique flavor, scent, and beauty.
