Pycnanthemum muticum: a plant for wet clay


One of my favorites - Pycnanthemum muticum, mountain mint. Soft silver foliage by early July, at least in western New Jersey, loads of insects, highly fragrant, mixes well with other perennials or grasses, particularly well in a meadow. No insect damage. Deer proof. Does well in heavy wet clay as well as drier situations. Good close up and at a distance.
