6. Fast grower

Mint is incredibly invasive and it is actually pretty hard to kill the plant. If allowed to grow without restrictions it will probably compete with nearby plants for resources. The best solution when growing mint is to plant it in containers or find a way of restricting the growth of the roots. It is also advisable to regularly trim it which will prevent mint plants from becoming to wide.

7. Container growing

Containers are perfect for growing mint herb. You don’t need to worry about the roots spreading too far and suffocating other plants. If you really want to grow it in your garden you can limit spreading, by putting the container into the ground. Be careful though because if the mint plant will flop over, the stems will root very quickly.
