Description
Virginia Mountain Mint is a hardy, native perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, attracting pollinators with its clusters of tiny, white, mint-scented flowers. Standing 2–3 feet tall, this multi-branched plant blooms in mid to late summer, offering a steady supply of nectar for bees and butterflies. The small flowers are often dotted with purple, adding subtle visual detail.
Virginia Mountain Mint also features attractive, minty-scented foliage with a silvery cast, enhancing its ornamental value even when not in bloom. It's ideal for naturalized plantings, meadows, and borders where a tough, fragrant, and pollinator-friendly plant is needed. Virginia Mountain Mint is drought-tolerant once established, making it a reliable choice for sustainable gardens in Massachusetts.
