Mint is a vigorous perennial aromatic herb with high germination rate and extremely strong spreading ability. It prefers sufficient sunlight or partial shade and moist, loose, well-drained soil, and can tolerate low temperature for safe outdoor overwintering. The leaves release a cool and refreshing mint aroma, which can be used for brewing herbal tea, mixing drinks, cooking seasoning and making desserts. Its creeping root system can quickly expand to form dense clumps, so it is also great as garden ground cover to inhibit weed growth. The plant rarely suffers from pests and diseases, only needing regular watering to keep soil slightly damp. It is widely planted in herb gardens, yard corners and balcony flower pots for daily picking and ornamental use.
