Moody, shimmering and utterly unique, Smokey Mountain Mint brings a misty palette to the garden. Its foliage blends silvery gray-green with rich, smoky purple tones, while silvery, bract-like leaves frame clusters of delicate white flowers speckled with lavender at the tips of tall, square stems.
This native hybrid blooms from early summer until frost, becoming a nectar hotspot for bees, butterflies, wasps and beneficial insects. Crush a leaf and you'll release a pleasant minty fragrance, and deer avoid it. Use it in pollinator gardens, native gardens and perennial borders, where its cool color offers contrast. It combines beautifully with other strong growers like coreopsis, heliopsis, goldenrod and bee balm.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.
