Zones 4-8, NC Native, Local Ecotype

Full to part sun

Pink-white blooms in summer attract droves of pollinators

Smells of mint, camphor, and eucalyptus - as opposed to most other Pycnanthemum species which smell mostly of mint

*Please note that I have identified this species to the best of my ability as P. loomisii. However, because mountain mints can be difficult to distinguish, there is a chance that it may be another species of Pycnanthemum.
