In July and August this stout, showy perennial produces tiny white flowers that are often spotted with purple and are arranged in small, dense clusters. When crushed, this square-stemmed plant emits a strong minty aroma and can be used to make tea. It is a low maintenance plant that can become aggressive in moister soils.
