This very healthy Mint the Best with its bright green aromatic leaves brings a Mediterranean feel to this garden.

Like all mints, Mint the Best, should be confined to a pot. Mints really do grow better in pots with lots of surface area rather than lots of depth. Our 20 inch Oval Planter makes a great mint pot, at least for the first year. After that, your mint will need to be divided and repotted with fresh soil each spring.

Spearmints, like Mint The Best, have less menthol than peppermint varieties which make them the best choice for using fresh in  mint sauces and drinks.
