Reply:Mint plant seed are sold in most home supply stores that handle live plants. Mints are easily to germinated and grown.
Reply:The nursery I work at carries about 15 kinds of mint plants. We'll be getting them in soon. You didn't say where you live, but if your "last frost" date is within the next 6 weeks, you should be able to find mint plants at any area garden store or nursery. They should be getting all kinds of new spring perennials soon.





You can also buy seeds of some mint plants (some of the fancier mint varieties need to be started from cuttings). But it will be a more than a season before you have enough mint to do anything with. It's much easier and faster to begin with small plants. Easy too. Mint is a vigorous grower.
Reply:don't plant mint in an open bed. it spreads like crazy and is very difficult to contain. either plant in pots or a very safe controllable position.





fresh mint in a salad or on potatoes is brilliant
