Please allow 3 business days for all #1 Pot orders.
Pycnanthemum virginianum, or Virginia Mountain Mint, is a perennial herb native to moist meadows, wetlands, and woodlands across eastern North America. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and features narrow, lance-shaped leaves with a minty aroma. During midsummer, it produces clusters of small, white flowers often spotted with purple. These flowers are a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and beetles, making the plant a valuable addition to pollinator gardens.
Virginia Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist to moderately dry soils. It spreads through rhizomes, forming dense clumps that help with erosion control and soil stabilization. The plant is deer-resistant and easy to grow, making it an excellent choice for ecological restoration, rain gardens, and native plant landscapes. Its dense growth habit also makes it ideal for suppressing weeds.
