Perennial plant. Sow outdoors from April. Make tea from the leaves or use them in dishes.
All mint varieties grow in sun or shade. In the sun, the most compact growth and the most intense color, scent, and flavor develop. Each variety goes through 2 growth stages: in spring, there is an upward growth spurt before flowering. Afterward, horizontally (vigorously) growing runners emerge, which develop into new plants in a different location. Bees and butterflies love mint flowers.
