The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Hoary Mountain Mint

  • Average to slightly dry soils
  • Full Sun to light shade
  • 3’ tall, spreading to form a patch
  • Late summer blooms
  • Ontario Native, Thrives in open woodlands or meadows, 

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/pycnanthemum-incanum-hoary-mountain-mint 

A very showy Mountain Mint with silvery bracts and large, pink to purple flowers. Like most members of the Mint family, these are abundant nectar suppliers and attract a wide range of nectar and pollen feeding species in the mid to late summer.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
