can it be grown in partial shade?

Most definitely, yes. While heat does not seem to bother it, hot
sun does. Mint grows quite well in full or part shade.

I suggest you grow it in a container and not in the ground.

What about the winter? We live in Zone 5 with -5F occurring every
winter. How would it survive in a container?

Mint can be very invasive. It also likes lots of water. I have it
growing luxuriously in a 10-inch clay pot. It's watered every
second morning by the lawn sprinklers. Every noon, it gets a very
short sprinkling, just to dampen things down (primarily for my
camellias and azaleas).

Thanks, I will reconsider my mint plans.
