When to plant short-toothed mountain mint

NC State Extension describes short-toothed mountain mint as a vigorous rhizomatous perennial; if spreading is not wanted, the roots can be pruned in spring with a spade. Set out plants or divisions in spring in moist, well-drained soil. The leaves smell strongly of spearmint and can be used for tea.
