When and how do I trim my mint plants

1 Answer

Answer :

You did not mention where you live....if you get snow...or freezing weather they might not survive the winter.  You can trim and hung bunches of mint.....they will come up again next year if they are in the ground....you could bury the whole plant and mulch it to see if it will winter that way.
