The mint might still come back if you give it enough water. If it was a
real mint, Mentha sp., that is.

The tag only says "peppermint". No latin name. It survived the first ice
storm but didn't seem to make it through the second one. The patch has
been getting spring rain but so far shows no sign of life.

Peppermint is usually pretty tough. It's still early yet, so I wouldn't give up
on it until the weather warmed up more. I'm just south of the Missouri state
line and the soil is still pretty cool.
