Common Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum) 1 GAL

Not a denizen of mountains, despite the common name- mountain mint is an adaptable and pollinator friendly plant. Will happily populate bare soil, so good for filling space! As with other mints, it is rarely browsed. May start blooming later than narrowleaf mountain mint, so planting them together maximizes bloom time.
