Virginia Mountain Mint is a vigorous and long-lasting plant that is ideal for meadows, wildlife gardens, and woodland edges where it can roam freely. When crushed, the leaves emit a strong odour, and the flowers and leaves have numerous applications in Native American herbal medicine.
A fantastic choice for a pollinator garden.
