Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, commonly known as Mountain Mint, is a remarkable and versatile perennial herb celebrated for its unique qualities. This herb typically grows to heights of 2 to 3 feet, displaying a clumping habit and slender, lance-shaped leaves that are fragrant when crushed. What truly distinguishes Mountain Mint is its captivating, globe-like clusters of tiny, pale pink to lavender flowers that bloom throughout the summer. These blossoms not only add visual appeal but also attract a myriad of pollinators, including butterflies and bees, making it an invaluable addition to pollinator gardens. Mountain Mint is highly adaptable, thriving in various soil types and light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Its aromatic leaves can also be used for herbal tea and other culinary purposes.
