Pycnanthemum incanum / Hoary Mountain Mint

$16.00

A native mint with a cooling aroma. The uppermost leaves are “hoary” – they look as though they are coated in frost. A superb pollinator plant – when in bloom, mobbed by an astonishing diversity of skippers, native bees, and other small beneficial insects.

Deer resistant. Host plant for two moth species, Crocus Geometer and Hermit Sphinx.
