I never realized that there are so many different varieties of mint, and many sound delicious.
While trying to plan out my garden, my only concerns are that I have never really used much mint before in cooking or cocktails. I also understand that mint grows out of control sometimes.
I look forward to reading about which types of mint that others grow, and which are your favorites. I assume some are excellent even just for a nice smell. Some may look cool. Most are probably used in mojitos?
After skimming through a lot of online lists, this is my favorite mint list.

Please don’t add them directly into the ground. They are invasive and you’ll never get rid of them lol
I really like chocolate and peppermint. I didn’t like lemon. I have mojito and chewing gum, and really like one but not the other, but lost the tags.
