Its silvery-tinged blooms and clean, bushy habit make it an easy, long-lived addition to meadow plantings, borders, and wildlife-friendly landscapes, and the leaves carry a refreshing minty aroma when brushed or crushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatile perennial works well in mixed perennial beds and naturalized areas where its nectar-rich flower heads draw a wide range of pollinators through the warm months. The pleasantly mint-scented leaves can be used fresh in teas, cold drinks, and light culinary applications, while the upright stems add structure to cut-flower arrangements. Plants spread gradually by rhizomes to fill in an area without becoming difficult to manage.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Pycnanthemum virginianum\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright clumping, spreads slowly by rhizomes\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Average to moist, well-drained\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratification improves results; surface sow and keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost or direct sow in fall\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12 to 18 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Not applicable\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664816767112,"sku":"ANNISA-562","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7907090472_jtcd_aa1318fa-7e98-4cd3-a34b-64c78cb38fa9.jpg?v=1791899599","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-seeds-mountain-mint-pycnanthemum-virginianum-native-perennial-pollinator-garden-herb","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
