Mint is a vigorous, spreading perennial herb. It thrives in moist soil and partial shade. Always grow in containers to prevent it from taking over the garden.
Garden mint can cause vomiting and diarrhea in pets when eaten in large amounts. Keep it out of reach and grow in containers to limit spreading.
