Pycnanthemum muticum #1

Pycnanthemum muticum, commonly known as clustered mountain mint, is a clump-forming aromatic perennial that is native to the eastern half of North America. This densely leaved mountain mint features dark green leaves which have a strong spearmint aroma when crushed. It is a vigorous grower that may spread by rhizomes in optimum conditions, but it is not invasive as are many of the true mints (Mentha). Small, pinkish white flowers form in late summer to early fall. Pollinators, like butterflies and bees, love this plant. Grows best in full to part sun and reaches a height of 1-3 feet tall. Hardy to Zone 4.
