Broad Leaved Mountain Mint - Bare Root Plant & Seeds
(Pycnanthemum muticum )
Broad Leaved Mountain Mint is one of Maine’s native mint species and as such has a square stem and smells brilliantly of mint. Like so many of our plants, we dry the leaves for tea and cooking and enjoy the speckled white blossoms as they buzz with insects.
