Pycnanthemum muticum

A must have for all pollinator gardens! Clustered Mountain Mint (also known as Blunt Mountain Mint and Short Toothed Mountain Mint) feeds a diverse range of pollinators with beautiful, aromatic pink and white flowers throughout mid to late summer. Clustered Mountain Mint is a wonderful bloom, fragrant perennial that naturally occurs in most of the Eastern half of the United States. Given the right conditions, it will spread vigorously by rhizomes. True mints (mentha family) should be planted in containers, as they can take over and choke out your garden, but Clustered Mountain Mint is safe to plant in-ground where it is native. If you want to control the spreading of this mint, you can prune the roots in the spring. It is happiest in meadows to woodland areas with good drainage and makes a wonderful addition to any butterfly, rain, edible, or native pollinator garden.

WARNING: Many mountain mint species are used medicinally, however, due to the high pugelone content, Clustered mountain mint can be toxic to the liver if consumed. 

Seeds must be cold stratified for best germination. Perennial.
