     Clustered Mountain Mint is the most adorable of all the mountain mints.  Its white flowers appear in July and August against blue-green foliage.  The flowers often are spotted with purple and arranged in small, dense clusters.

 

     When crushed, Clustered Mountain Mint emits a strong minty aroma and can be used to make tea, Mojito and other drinks, and as a garnish for lemonade.

 

     Clustered Mountain Mint is a low-maintenance plant and falls in the category: Any Idiot Can Grow This Plant.  Caveat: it's an aggressive spreader and best when given room to roam or fill in an area. 

 

     It's great near a vegetable garden to pull in the pollinators.  I keep it in a pot near my garden so I have the plant but it's not taking over.

 

     In addition to bees, Clustered Mountain Mint attracts butterflies and songbirds, beetles and wasps.

 

     Fun fact: The leaves are inticingly fragrant and minty when crushed.
