Also known as Slender Mountain Mint and Common Horsemint, this fragrant, perennial herb grows in stiff clumps 20 to 30 inches in height. It grows clusters of lavender-white flowers with purple spots that bloom in the summer and attract bees and butterflies. This mint grows in full sun to partial shade, and in dry to moist soils. A variety of wildlife eat this plant’s seeds, while deer also eat the leaves.
