A new perennial to the greenhouse this year! Mountainmint is not a 'true' mint species, but belongs to the same family and has very similar foliage. This is a must-have for pollinator gardens, as the white and light-pink blooms attract butterflies and bees all summer long, and because of it's minty fragrance, it is deer and rabbit resistant.
The silver sheen that Mountainmint gives off contrasts nicely with darker foliage plants and gives the illusion of a frosty mound. Though it's not invasive like other mint, it can grow aggressively in moist conditions. Growth size is 24-36" tall and spreads widely by rhizomes. Learn more about Clustered Mountainmint Here.
