Pycnanthemum muticum, commonly known as Clustered Mountain Mint, is a vigorous and highly attractive native perennial that brings exceptional pollinator value and aromatic foliage to Long Island, New York gardens.

This upright, spreading plant features clusters of small pink to lavender flowers surrounded by silvery-green bracts, creating a long-lasting and distinctive display from summer into early fall. Clustered Mountain Mint thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a range of well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, meadows, native plantings, cottage gardens, and naturalized landscapes.

Its fragrant foliage and abundant flowers attract a wide variety of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making Pycnanthemum muticum one of the most valuable plants for supporting native pollinator populations.

Once established, this hardy Long Island native plant is relatively low maintenance and can provide excellent seasonal color, texture, and ecological value in sunny to partially shaded gardens.
