Pycnanthemum incanum 

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.

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5. 

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
