Mint is the most aggressive herb I've ever dealt with. It sends shoots that can easily be 1-2 feet in a season. It also overwinters well outside.

That's also been my experience.  Last summer, mint growth in my yard was exceptionally strong.  I found some runners in the fall that were 2-3' long and had grown since May.

I actually did end up with orange mint and it turned out quite well.  Just have to be patient and keep checking the farmer markets.  My wife found this past season's by her office near the Hancock.
