Pycnanthemum tenuifolium

  • With slender, fragrant foliage and clusters of soft white flowers, Narrow Leaf Mountain Mint brings a delicate look and powerful pollinator punch. It grows 2-3 feet tall and blooms from mid to late summer with a subtle silvery shimmer.

  • Thrives in full sun and dry to medium soils; drought tolerant and easy to grow in meadows or sunny spots in the garden. Cut back in late spring or late fall to maintain a tidy form.

  • Forms upright clumps and spreads slowly by rhizomes - perfect for weaving through sunny plantings without overwhelming neighbors. Adds fine texture and herbal fragrance to garden edges.

  • Native to eastern and central North America, found in dry fields, open woods, roadsides, and prairies.

  • Fine, thread-like leaves emerge in spring with a minty aroma, followed by airy blooms in mid to late summer. Seed heads and foliage persist into fall, often taking on warm bronze tones.

  • A magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects - one of the best native plants for pollinator diversity. Its dense stems also provide cover and over-wintering habitat for insects and wildlife.
