How to Grow Healthy Mint Plants

Mint thrives in well-drained, moist soil and prefers a sunny or partly shaded position. Give your mint plenty of space, as it tends to spread—growing mint in large pots is an excellent way to keep it contained. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and helps keep your plant at its bushiest and most flavourful.
