What is the plant

Varieties of mint (Mentha) are some of the easiest and most popular herbs to grow. Plants in the mint family are very hardy perennials with vigorous growth habits. Mint, left to its own devices, will spread quickly and become a nuisance. However, it is very useful as a flavorful culinary herb and the plants can certainly be grown without much care. Just try to choose a spot where you will not mind the rampant growth or grow it in a confined space like a container or between paved areas.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
The best way to water mint is to give the soil a really good soak and then wait until the soil only somewhat moist to a fingers depth before watering again.
Pruning
Trim off any dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
As with most houseplants, they will benefit from an occasional feed during the growing season. An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer is recommended.
