Pre-Order Now for Spring 2025 Pickup: Smooth Mountain Mint' - Pycnanthemum Muticum.

Meet one of the most powerful pollinator magnets in our native plant collection—now available for pre-order in 1-gallon size.

Smooth Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum muticum) isn’t widely known—but it should be. This fast-spreading, ecologically beneficial perennial thrives where other plants struggle. With silvery foliage, soft summer blooms, and an irresistible pull for native bees, it's a problem-solver and pollinator favorite all in one.

Ideal for reclaiming weedy or neglected areas, stabilizing tricky spots, and filling space where you want a tough, beautiful groundcover that gives back to the environment. This mint-family native is vigorous, not invasive, and native to Connecticut.
