And it works great on a balcony or indoor garden! Mint is also naturally pest resistant.

Fr. Just say no to intentionally planting mint in the ground.
You've also gotta make sure to cut the flowers off before the seeds spread. That's how I ended up with them in my rock garden.
This is a great tip!
My neighbor planted lemon balm in her small garden bed- now it's all lemon balm and has spread around the strata gardens. Anything in the mint family has to be contained, or soon it will be all you have.
The mint, it c̸̪̾̍ó̷̭͇̗̄n̸̥͗̀s̶̜̊̒̌͝ǘ̶̼̪̈̚m̸̗͂ę̴̨̭̮͗s̴͚͗̒̇̿
And here I can't make enough with a solid green thumb. Trying again next year.
Why I thought they look great next to the Bamboo I planted? ^/s
