Very easy to grow and good for teas/cooking or just to smell the leaves as you brush past.
Mint does go flowers - and is good for bees then. If you prefer to keep it for yourself, or whenever it goes a bit ratty, cut it right back for a new flush of fresh bright green leaves. These are established plants split from some bits of root I accidentally dug up in the early spring and potted on after they re-rooted.
Unfussy but prefers damp soil - it will delight in nasty sticky clay. Mint can be invasive in the ground, so take care if you plant it out with other plants. Very happy in pots as long as you can keep it damp and maybe feed or repot from time to time.
