Clustered Mountain Mint
Pycnanthemum muticum
Clustered Mountain Mint is beloved by gardeners of all sorts, from the first timer to the seasoned green thumb – and for good reason. It’s a tough, low maintenance plant that performs well in a variety of conditions. It adds unique color with its beautiful silvery foliage that lasts for weeks. The aromatic foliage is a delight for gardeners but distasteful to deer and rabbits. And last, but certainly not least, it is an absolute buffet for pollinators of every shape and size. On a sunny, warm day, sitting for just a few minutes by some flowering Mountain Mint will reveal a plethora of bumblebees, mason bees, carpenter bees, butterflies, pollinating wasps, flower flies, and so much more!
