Default Planting "supermarket" potted mint in the garden ?

Hi folks,
The harsh winter seems to have had a debilitating effect on my mint
patch. Usually as June approaches I have swathes of mint, however,
this year there seems to be a drastic lack of growth of new plants. I
have seen various varieties of potted mint available in the
supermarkets but the instructions say that these should be kept in a
warm sunlit spot, ideally indoors and besides a window. Has anyone
transplanted these plants outdoors and to good effect ? I really would
like to get the mint patch flourishing again and I am having trouble
finding mint plants specifically for outdoor planting.

Thanks !
