How to grow wild mint
Mentha canadensis
When to plant wild mint
The University of Tennessee (Tennessee Smart Yards) describes wild mint as a 1 to 2 foot aromatic perennial that spreads aggressively by rhizome and can become weedy. Set out plants or rhizome divisions in spring in moist soil, ideally where its spread can be contained.
Wild Mint is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
