Spearmint has been a delightful surprise because of its heartiness. Native to Europe and Asia, they grow white or reddish runners which seem to just sprint across your garden and I've dealt with this by taking them out of my veggie garden and putting them in containers with enough to spare that I split pieces off, put them in plastic tubs & gifted them to friends and neighbors. They can deal with wide a range of sun exposure--full sun to mostly shaded(!)
Because these are in such a mad dash to propagate, and are so easy to care for, your only trouble is how to keep pace eating spearmint.
I have two favorite uses:
1. Muddle, chop, or mush any way you can and add it to your coffee or coco.
2. Mix with sparkling or still water, lemon juice and some sugar for a great summer lemonade.
