This post brought to you by someone who never planted that cursed, evil herb in their garden

We got “chocolate mint”. Yes, it actually does taste a bit like chocolate mint. Yes, it will take over your garden and be miserable to remove.

Wait, why? Please elaborate, I'm planning to get some for my garden. (In fact, I already bought the seeds package)

If you're going to plant it, plant it in a pot first, then bury the pot up to the lip. It will stay mostly contained and you won't see the pot unless you're right on top of it. Mint reproduces through runners as well as by seeds and the runners are so much harder to control. If you bury the entire pot, it makes it easier for the runners to escape, which is why you want that little bit of lip above ground.

That's why I just plant it in a pot

Edit: by "pot" I mean the rectangle type
