Mountain Mint: Broad-leaved (Pycnanthemum muticum)

Native Perennial.  Also known as Broad-Leaved Mountain Mint.  This beautiful pollinator magnet sports silver-light bluish leaves and tiny pinkish-white flowers that are small and perfect for the tiny bees and friends. The foliage is such an amazing compliment to other late summer and fall plantings like flowering raspberry, black eyed susans, goldenrod, nodding onion, and bee-balm.  

Like some other mints, this can be an aggressive grower, so you may want to plant it in the outer edges of a perennial garden or meadow as opposed to the veggie garden.  

Height: 3’, Sun: Full-partial, Soil: Medium to medium-dry, Plant spacing: 18-24”
