Very easy to grow and good for teas/cooking or just to smell the leaves as you brush past.
This one has been in that little pot since autumn - it will grow away vigorously if you pot it into a larger pot or plant in the ground. Break it up into several plants if you want more more quickly.
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.
Mint does flower - 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.
