Support pollinators and enjoy the refreshing fragrance of Slender Mountain Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its fine-textured aromatic foliage, clusters of delicate white flowers, and exceptional value for native pollinators. Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, commonly known as Slender Mountain Mint, is a hardy North American native perennial that thrives in pollinator gardens, native landscapes, meadows, prairie plantings, borders, and herb gardens. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, beneficial insects, and other pollinators throughout the summer. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Pycnanthemum tenuifolium thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Its slender, mint-scented leaves create a soft, airy appearance while releasing a refreshing fragrance when brushed. During mid to late summer, clusters of small white flowers bloom above the foliage, providing one of the best nectar sources for beneficial insects. Once established, this easy-care native perennial is drought tolerant and dependable.
