Pycnanthemum virginianum

from $7.25

Pycnanthemum virginianum | Virginia mountain mint

Virginia mountain mint is one of those species that doesn’t wow at first glance, but she charms her way to becoming a favorite once you get to know her. Tiny white or pale pink flowers create a nice flowering backdrop when plants are sited together in a group, but this species also has graceful, slender, upright flowering stems with narrow leaves that can weave in and out of other neighboring plants, creating a very natural and beautiful effect when this species is interspersed among other plants. Virginia mountain grows best in average soils in full sun, but will tolerate moister soils, and also some shade. Makes a great cut-flower filler with a minty fragrance. Charming seed heads stand tall in late season, adding interest to the fall and winter meadow.
