Pycnanthemum virginianum
Virginia mountain mint
 
Pycnanthemum virginianum, Virginia mountain mint, is a herbaceous perennial plant that produces dense clusters of small, white flowers in mid to late summer. It grows up to 3 feet tall and thrives in full sun to partial shade. This plant prefers average, moist, well-drained soil but is tolerant of dry conditions as well.
 
Virginia mountain mint is known to attract a variety of pollinators, including solitary bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Additionally, it serves as a host plant for caterpillars of the Hermit Sphinx Moth.
