Clustered Mountain Mint (also known as Blunt Mountain Mint and Short Toothed Mountain Mint) feeds a diverse range of pollinators with beautiful, aromatic pink and white flowers throughout mid to late summer. Clustered Mountain Mint is a wonderful bloom, fragrant perennial that naturally occurs in most of the Eastern half of the United States. Given the right conditions, it will spread vigorously by rhizomes. True mints (mentha family) should be planted in containers, as they can take over and choke out your garden, but Clustered Mountain Mint is safe to plant in-ground where it is native. If you want to control the spreading of this mint, you can prune the roots in the spring. It is happiest in meadows to woodland areas with good drainage and makes a wonderful addition to any butterfly, rain, edible, or native pollinator garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWARNING: Many mountain mint species are used medicinally, however, due to the high pugelone content, Clustered mountain mint can be \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8309247\/\"\u003etoxic to the liver if consumed\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeeds must be \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sowtrueseed.mom\/blogs\/gardening\/how-to-cold-stratify-seeds\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecold stratified\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for best germination.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePerennial.\u003cstrong\u003e  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.1 gram packet, minimum seed count 400 seeds per packet \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"- Mountain Mint -","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44678948651177,"sku":"376-00-1-C","price":4.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2550\/8730\/files\/Mountain_Mint.jpg?v=1736370643","url":"https:\/\/sowtrueseed.mom\/products\/mountain-mint-clustered","provider":"Sow True Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
