Blunt Mountain Mint

Blunt Mountain Mint is easy to naturalize in pollinator gardens, meadows, and cottage gardens. Plants form a dense clump through slowly spreading rhizomes. Native to bogs, low meadows, and damp woods throughout most of the eastern United States, Blunt Mountain Mint thrives in fertile, moist soils and full sun. Plants tolerate some shade as well as clay soils. Blunt Mountain Mint is highly attractive to pollinators, recognized by the Xerces Society for being a valuable nectar source for native bees, honeybees, and bumblebees. It also attracts skippers and flower flies, and supports a healthy population of beneficial insects to prevent harmful pests. Blunt Mountain Mint looks lovely massed in perennial borders alongside tall Coreopsis, Blazing Star, and ornamental grasses.
