'Mint prefers a position in full sun, so be sure to choose a spot that gets plenty of daylight,' says Kate Lindley. 'It also needs plenty of water to grow, so be generous with watering, particularly during summer months.'
Mint plants will thrive with sunlight, water, and richly fertile soil, so you could even feed it some extra nutrients if you're keen to encourage growth. Try adding some Baby Bio Herb Food, £4.29 at Amazon, to enrich soil with the perfect balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Use once every two weeks during the active growth period for even tastier and more aromatic mint.
