I love using clustered mountain mint in landscapes because it is so valuable to pollinators and beneficial garden insects, fills in nicely for large/massed areas, and provides a great contrast when in bloom. At least 2 of the 4 stamens protrude above the corolla. Pycnanthemum species are upright herbs with small (under 6 mm long) white flowers in button-like heads at the tops of the stems. Edibility: Leaves and flowers used for tea Dimensions: Height: 3 ft. Clustered Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum muticum) Clustered mounting mint ( Pycnanthemum muticum ) looks excellent combined with Monarda.

Attracts butterflies and other pollinators.
