Chocolate mint is a beautiful fast growing mint plant that grows upright and straight but can become invasive. This mint plant will grow quickly into a large plant and will grow multiple stems from a single plant. While this mint will slowly spread, it is not as invasive as the regular mint but will still spread and slowly invade the nearby space.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
My chocolate mint plant has grown from a 3-4 inch seedling to a 10 inch plant in around 2 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to grow any mint plant is to grow it in a contained pot or in an area of garden that you can allow to grow full of mint. This could be a raised garden bed or a garden bed in the ground surrounded by pavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
