About Mint
Mint is extremely vigorous — grow in containers to prevent it from taking over your garden.
Plant in a container always — mint will spread aggressively otherwise. Harvest regularly to encourage bushy growth. Cut to the ground occasionally to rejuvenate. Easy to overwinter indoors.
Gardening in Utah
Utah has an arid continental climate. Salt Lake City is Zone 6b-7a; southern Utah is Zone 7-8; mountains are Zone 4-5. Low humidity and alkaline soils require irrigation and soil amendment.
