Does mint die off in winter when it's brought inside.

Does the mint plant die off in winter even if it's indoors? Thank you.

Yes it does die down. If its in a really sheltered area you might get a few sprigs. On the other hand pot some up and put it on kitchen windowsill and you will get it through the window. You can do this with most herbs.

It wont die down and you'll still get some sprigs. Obviously it won't be so profuse as outside but you'll still get some.

You can also freeze it. It won't defrost well enough for use in salads, but certainly well enough for felafel, raita, peas, teas, dressings, stuffings etc. If you use it with lamb, just make mint jelly.
