Pycnanthemum tenuifolium / NARROW-LEAFED MOUNTAIN MINT
Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, or Narrow-Leaved Mountain Mint, is a hardy perennial known for its aromatic, silvery-green foliage and clusters of small, white to pale purple flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. This native plant thrives in well-drained, dry to medium soils and full sun, making it an excellent choice for meadow gardens, pollinator gardens, or wildflower borders. The flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and moths, while its strong minty fragrance adds an aromatic element to the landscape. Narrow-Leaved Mountain Mint is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, making it a resilient and valuable addition to any garden. Its ability to spread and form dense patches makes it ideal for ground cover or adding texture to mixed perennial beds.
