I have planted mint here and there around the house, in what has been described as “ideal” sunlit, well drained, regularly watered conditions. So far, it isn’t growing well. Now - that’s the store bought nice flavored mints which, apparently, are a lot fussier. We have some mint-related weeds that crop up here and there, and they’ll grow to bushes 5’ high and 6’ wide if you let them, but I don’t like their flavors as well. But, even after letting a couple of those get really big, they’re not so fearsome to just mow down and keep in check - far less annoying than things like the Camphor trees and Green Briar vines and friends… As for desirable herbs that do grow easily here: rosemary is a big one, that bush right outside the kitchen door always grows faster than we need it to.
