Hoary Mountain Mint Live Plant | Pycnanthemum incanum | Native Pollinator Herb Starter Plant

Create a thriving pollinator habitat with Hoary Mountain Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its aromatic silvery-green foliage, clusters of delicate white flowers, and exceptional ability to attract beneficial insects. Pycnanthemum incanum, commonly known as Hoary Mountain Mint, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its soft, fuzzy leaves, refreshing mint fragrance, 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.

Hoary Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers average to moist, well-draining soil. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Dense clusters of tiny white flowers attract an incredible diversity of native bees, butterflies, hoverflies, beneficial wasps, beetles, and other pollinating insects, making it one of the best native perennials for supporting biodiversity. The aromatic, softly hairy foliage releases a refreshing mint fragrance when brushed or crushed and adds attractive texture to the garden throughout the growing season.
