Pycnanthemum Virginianum Mountain mint. A showy clumping perennial that branches out with wiry stems and gray green long narrow leaves that emit a minty aroma when crushed. Blooms present in clusters of 4 or more flowers each, and some up to 50 that will bloom a few at a time to give a long period of flowering. Their blooming time is one month during mid to late summer bearing cute button-like white flowers with purple dots. The plant is low maintenance, vigorous, and spreads rather quickly by forming small colonies of rhizomes. If spreading is unwanted, separate plants at the root in springtime.

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!!!!
