Slender Mountain Mint Live Plant | Pycnanthemum tenuifolium | Native Pollinator Herb Starter Plant

Enhance your pollinator garden with Slender Mountain Mint, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its fine needle-like aromatic foliage, delicate white flower clusters, and exceptional value for native pollinators. Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, commonly known as Slender Mountain Mint or Narrowleaf Mountain Mint, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its graceful appearance, refreshing mint fragrance, and ability to attract an incredible diversity of beneficial insects. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, prairie plantings, native landscapes, herb gardens, meadow gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from mid-summer through early fall.

Slender Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance. Its narrow, aromatic foliage creates a soft, airy texture in the garden, while clusters of tiny white flowers become magnets for native bees, butterflies, hoverflies, beneficial wasps, and many other pollinating insects. As one of the best native plants for supporting biodiversity, it is an outstanding addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
