Transform your garden into a pollinator haven with Hairy Mountain Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its fragrant foliage, clusters of delicate white flowers, and exceptional ability to attract beneficial insects. Pycnanthemum verticillatum var. pilosum, commonly known as Hairy Mountain Mint, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its aromatic leaves, soft hairy stems, and outstanding ecological value. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, native landscapes, prairie plantings, herb gardens, rain gardens, meadow plantings, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from mid-summer through early fall.

Hairy Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist to average, well-draining soil. Once established, it is adaptable and moderately drought tolerant. Dense clusters of small white flowers become magnets for native bees, butterflies, beneficial wasps, hoverflies, beetles, and countless other pollinating insects, making it one of the most valuable native plants for supporting biodiversity. The aromatic foliage releases a refreshing mint fragrance when brushed or crushed, adding both sensory appeal and ecological benefits to the landscape.
