Add beauty, biodiversity, and a refreshing minty aroma to your garden with Virginia Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum). This vigorous, clump-forming native perennial is prized for its dense clusters of small white flowers that bloom from mid- to late summer, providing a rich and long-lasting nectar source.

A favorite among native bees, butterflies, moths, and other beneficial insects, this plant is a powerhouse for pollinator gardens, habitat plantings, and rain gardens. Its silvery-green foliage adds texture and movement to borders, while its naturally upright form enhances any native planting.

Key Features:

• Pollinator Powerhouse: Attracts and supports native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
• Thrives in Sun & Part Shade: Adaptable to varied light conditions.
• Prefers Moist Soils: Ideal for rain gardens, wet meadows, and shorelines.
• Deer-Resistant: Foliage has a natural minty scent that deters deer.
• Low-Maintenance & Drought-Tolerant: Once established, requires little water and no synthetic chemicals.
• Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants to suit gardens of any size. 

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soils. Can tolerate some dryness once established.
2. Watering: Regular watering during establishment; drought-tolerant after rooting in
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
