Create a buzzing hub of activity in your garden with our native Mountain Mint seeds. This hardy perennial is widely considered one of the absolute best plants for attracting a huge diversity of native bees and other beneficial pollinators. In mid-summer, the plant is covered in dense clusters of small, fuzzy, white flowers. The leaves have a strong, refreshing minty aroma and can be used to make a delightful herbal tea.
