Pycnanthemum tenuifolium

Slender Mountain Mint

  • Category: Natives
  • Hardiness Zone: 4
  • Height: 24 inches
  • Spread: 24 inches
  • Bloom Color: White

Clusters of small white blooms atop tidy needle-like branched foliage. Wonderful scent wafts into the neighborhood, enticing various bees and butterflies but signaling rabbits and deer to move along. Yes, this genus does spread by runners, so don't be afraid to get bossy with your shovel when needed. So tough it can handle a little shade as well as the road salt from an urban boulevard, but prefers medium dry to medium wet soil.
