Pycnanthemum-Virginianum 1C

Mountain Mint attracts many insects to its flowers, including various bees, wasps, flies, small butterflies, and beetles. The leaves are very fragrant; when crushed they have a strong minty odor. The flowers will be white to shades of light purple, some with purple spots.  Pycnanthemum means "densely flowered," an attribute that enables Mountain Mint to accommodate many pollinators at once.
