Pycnanthemum muticum (Clustered Mountain Mint) – The quiet powerhouse of your perennial lineup.

Clustered Mountain Mint may look modest, but don’t sleep on it — this US native is a top-tier filler, a pollinator magnet, and a regrowth machine. With soft, silvery-green foliage and clouds of tiny white flowers, it adds gentle texture to bouquets while quietly boosting biodiversity in your garden or field.

Despite being in the mint family, it’s well-behaved — no aggressive minty takeovers here. It spreads by rhizomes, but in a polite, manageable way. The more you cut it, the more it grows back, making it one of the most reliable foliage crops you can grow.

Why it deserves a spot in your field or bouquet:

• Silver-dusted, fuzzy foliage = instant texture

• Regrows after every cut — hello, productivity

• Perfectly adaptable to sun, shade, and varied soils

• Pollinator favorite: bees, butterflies, and beneficials LOVE it

• Deer and rabbit resistant (minty scent = not on the menu)

• Works fresh or dried in arrangements

• Softens everything it touches — bold blooms, wildflowers, you name it

Vernalized + ready to roll:
Our vernalized perennials are grown in deep 32-cell Root Tutor trays, with chunky root systems built up over winter. That means faster establishment and a head start on flowering. When they arrive in spring, expect dormancy vibes (yellowing or sleeping) — totally normal. They’re just waiting for your soil and a little sunshine.

Growing notes:

• Native to Eastern North America

• Thrives in meadows, woodland edges, or garden borders

• Spreads moderately by rhizomes — excellent for naturalizing

• Blooms mid-to-late summer with soft white flower clusters

• Typically grows 2–3 ft tall

Bottom line:
Mountain Mint is the perennial workhorse you didn’t know you needed — wildly useful, easy to grow, and good for the planet. Whether you’re designing bouquets, building biodiversity, or just want something that thrives without babysitting, Pycnanthemum muticum is an absolute no-brainer.
