Slender Leaved Mountainmint
Pycnanthemum tenuifolium
Slender Mountain Mint has white flowers with small purple flecks that are showier than other mountain mints. However, it's better known for its attractive, needle-like foliage which adds a soft texture to the garden. Mountain mints are a top pollinator plant and will attract a huge variety of native bees and insects when in bloom. Slender Mountain Mint can spread aggressively, but this can be well controlled by dividing the plant in spring.
