Mint is super invasive, so make sure to keep them in their own pot or container, otherwise, it will take over your other plants.

17 Jan 20, colleen (USA - Zone 10b climate): I used to live in zone 9 and when I grew mint in those conditions (morning sun, plenty of water) it grew like a beast and took over most of my garden. So--yes, it should do great...but be careful what you wish for!
