$7.49
Very modest perennial with tops looking like they have been spray-painted.
Dense clumps, 4 feet tall and wide and spreading wider, are topped with hemispherical flower heads with small white flowers supported by silver gray leaves. The white coloring extends down from the flowers including stems and leaves for 6 to 12 inches. Plants really do look like they've been painted.
This is SUPERB POLLINATOR PLANTS (as well as other mountain mints) - bees, butterflies, skippers, wasps, and a myriad of other insects find mountain mint to have irresistible nectar and pollen. It attracts by far, the greatest number and diversity of pollinators of all our plants. It is not unusual to see 10 or more different kinds of insects at the same time...
Mountain mint is native wildflower to Eastern United States, it grows in full sun or light shade, dry or moist conditions and virtually on any soils.
Its leaves and stems are also extremely aromatic. Just watering plants in pots will fill a greenhouse with a fresh herbal-mint fragrance. For that reason you may want to use this plant where you or your pets might brush past it frequently.
With its white upper parts on display for the latter third of the growing season, mountain mint is very pretty plant, something a bit unusual for the edge of the woodland garden, one of the best plants for butterfly and pollinator garden, dry meadows, poor soil areas, for naturalizing in natural area, and a sure winner for pollinators.It can be used in flower bed, only if it's monitored, because it will spread probably quickly and will become aggressive.
Can be used as erosion control.
Pot Size : square 3.5" x 5" deep pot
