Pycnanthemum tenuifolium (Slender Mountain Mint) Seed
Description
Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, commonly called Narrowleaf Mountain Mint, is a perennial herb native to eastern North America. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is recognized for its slender, needle-like leaves and clusters of small white flowers that bloom in midsummer. The flowers are rich in nectar and attract a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and wasps. The leaves are aromatic when crushed, emitting a minty fragrance, and were traditionally used in herbal medicine.
Narrowleaf Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating both dry and moist conditions. It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and easy to grow, making it a valuable addition to native gardens and meadow plantings. This plant is especially prized for its ecological benefits, providing food and habitat for beneficial insects while adding texture and fragrance to landscapes.
