Please check back in spring 2024 for availability and/or sign up for back in stock notification.
Clean, white blooms are displayed above vibrant, green foliage. A native Ontario species which attracts a variety of pollinators especially short-tongued species. Being quite similar to the Virginia mountain mint, the smaller, narrow leaves are a key identification feature. Prefers medium well-drained soil.
