Hoary Mountain Mint

You will receive a live Hoary Mountain Mint plant (Pycnanthemum incanum), rooted in a 2.5-inch pot. Native to eastern North America, Hoary Mountain Mint is a hardy perennial wildflower known for its aromatic foliage, clusters of small white flowers, and distinctive silvery-white bracts that give the plant a frosted appearance. One of the most valuable native plants for pollinators, it attracts an incredible diversity of bees, butterflies, wasps, and other beneficial insects throughout its blooming season. Its minty fragrance and ornamental appearance make it an excellent addition to native plant gardens, meadows, pollinator habitats, and perennial borders. Hoary Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, including clay, rocky, and average garden soils. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. The aromatic foliage is generally resistant to deer and rabbits, while the long-lasting blooms provide a reliable nectar source during the heat of summer. Avoid consistently waterlogged soils, especially during winter months. FREE E-BOOK & BOOKMARK - "Using and Growing Herbs" By Kara Vaneck.
