Hairy Mountain Mint Live Plant | Pycnanthemum pilosum | Native Pollinator Herb Starter Plant

Support pollinators while adding a beautiful native perennial to your garden with Hairy Mountain Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its aromatic foliage, clusters of creamy white flowers, and exceptional wildlife value. Pycnanthemum pilosum, commonly known as Hairy Mountain Mint, is a hardy North American native perennial that thrives in pollinator gardens, meadows, prairie plantings, rain gardens, and herb gardens. Its nectar-rich blooms attract a remarkable diversity of native bees, butterflies, beneficial insects, and other pollinators throughout the summer. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Pycnanthemum pilosum thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist to average, well-draining soil. Its aromatic mint-scented foliage releases a pleasant fragrance when touched, while clusters of tiny creamy white flowers bloom from mid to late summer, creating a striking display and providing an important nectar source for pollinators. Once established, this adaptable perennial is drought tolerant and easy to maintain. Due to its spreading habit, it is ideal for naturalized landscapes, prairie gardens, and larger garden spaces.
