Mint is easy to keep alive, but you gotta not kill it first.

One of those catch 22s

If you plant it successfully, it lives there now.

Even for years after it’s removed the ground has enough seeds for it to regrow for nearly a decade.

    Rosemary is like that too. Once it's established it's hard to kill.

    That’s because it’s vv hardy, it’s rare for rosemary to drop seed like mint does though

    Mint just fills the ground with seeds so it can show up forever whenever for whatever reason

    Chives are also like that. I think I planted some in my parents garden when I was 12 about 25 years ago and it still keeps coming back every year. Often in different places as it roams around the garden, but I don't think I've ever not had them come up somewhere.
