MOUNTAIN MINT


Pycnanthemum muticum, commonly known as Short-toothed Mountain Mint is a remarkable native perennial and a true superstar, quickly becoming a favorite among gardeners for its unparalleled ecological benefits and subtle charm. Mountain Mint is an absolute magnet for a vast array of pollinators - from native bees to butterflies, wasps, and hoverflies. Its long blooming period ensures a continuous feast for beneficial insects.

But that's not all! Crush a leaf, and you'll be greeted by a delightful, strong minty aroma that is both refreshing and invigorating. This unique scent is not only pleasant for humans but also plays a role in attracting its diverse pollinator fan club.

Mountain Mint is low-maintenance and tough as nails. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is incredibly adaptable to various soil types, from average to moist. Once established, it's remarkably drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for busy gardeners.

Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly in the spring and summer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering.
