Pattiann, PM me in a couple of months after I see what comes up...I could send you a few cuttings.

Always keep your mints ( all ) in pots and keep on cement to prevent root runners from sneaking out and taking over. Every year it is a very good idea to cut back in winter and then in spring take out of pot and cut up making new pots. Also watch out for runners sneaking into new territory. Round up is good if they get out of control on open land but you have to do a few treatments.

They are all worth growing! Vicki

My wife planted some mint about 15 years ago it took 3 years of digging, hoeing, tilling
and all kinds of nasty things but it went away. What happens 2 years ago she decides she wants some more, this time she puts it in a small pot fortunately it died last fall from 2 years of 100 degree weather for almost 3 months each. She dumped it out of the pot last fall and left it in the yard roots to the sky, not to worry I have some napalm ready at hand if it looks like it will come back to life. x---

Mint is the awesome plant. It is your friend. No reason to try and exterminate it. If you mulch properly, no weed or rogue herb can scare you.
