Hoary Mountain Mint

Pycnanthemum incanum

Hoary Mountain Mint has soft, silvery foliage that gives off strong mint scent, making it a great addition to a sensory garden. In late summer, it produces bountiful clusters of small blooms. While mountain mints normally produce white flowers, Hoary Mountain Mint has pale purple blooms. One of the best pollinator plants. The shallow flowers are easily accessed by bees, wasps, flies, butterflies and beetles. Can spread aggressively, so divide every few years to keep its growth in check.
