Mountain Mint is a clumping native perennial with dense branching stems covered with dark green toothed foliage that has a strong mint-like aroma if crushed. The Flat clusters of tiny two-lipped flowers surrounded by showy silvery brackets bloom throughout summer. Best flowering occurs in full sun and moist well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the leaves can be used to make a mild tea.
