Hairy Wood Mint

Blephilia hirsuta

Hairy Wood Mint features distinctive whorls of pale purple flowers that appear in mid to late summer. Its hairy, square stems and toothed leaves add texture and interest to the garden. This plant is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in the dappled shade of woodland gardens, where it provides essential nectar for a variety of pollinators. It’s a resilient and low-maintenance choice that enhances biodiversity and brings a touch of wild elegance to any shaded spot.
