Pycnanthemum Pilosum - Hairy Mountain Mint

Pycnanthemum Pilosum - hairy mountain mint. Aka: whorled mountain mint. This is an erect, clump forming herbaceous perennial that branches out and gives the appearance of being bushy. As the plant gets taller, the leaves become smaller and more slender. The blooms grow in clusters of white 2 lipped flowers surrounded by long narrow mid-green leaves that are noted for their aroma when crushed. The plant is fast growing, and low maintenance, strong, and long flowering, from July to September. The plant spreads by forming rhizomes and will quickly invade other spaces. If spreading is unwanted, it is suggested to use a spade and prune at the roots in spring to prevent the clumps from spreading.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
