Do you think it would survive in a basket hanging up under the covered porch?

Otherwise I fear the mints are headed for an uprooting altogether... I've been giving my dh a hard time about the mint taking over. This spearmint was in a wood box container, looking all nice and neat when my hubby was motivated to dig me a garden area....and since he can accomplish this task waaay faster than I can, I didn't argue when he put the mint in the ground. I knew better!!! It grew at least ten times bigger in the ground and is spreading into other herbs.

The peppermint is turning into ground cover, making its way thru the grass (although I despise this grass I don't know the name but it is impossible to dig up). The mint smells wonderful ~ I'm conflicted here.
