Description

Pycnanthemum incanum, Hoary Mountain Mint, Silverleaf Mountain Mint, Organically Grown Native Perennial Plugs, Native Wildflowers, Native Pollinator Support Plants, VA ecotype

USDA Symbol: PYIN
USDA Native Status: L48 (N), CAN (N)
This stiff, erect, clump-forming mint has whitened leaves subtending the flower clusters. The minty-smelling plants are 2-6 ft. tall and have terminal flower clusters composed of numerous, small, two-lipped corollas varying from whitish to lavender, with purple spots. Flowers are in dense rounded clusters in leaf axils or atop a hairy square stem and branches; white bracts beneath flowers.

The genus name derives from the Greek for “dense” and “flower” and aptly describes the crowded flower clusters. The many species are closely related and difficult to distinguish from one another. These plants, particularly the flower clusters, have a very strong odor when crushed.
