Mint: Hoary Mountain Mint herb plant, Pycnanthemum incanum

I like the scent of the mountain mint, it is more mellow, than other mints. The picture shows the mountain mint in my old garden in Katoomba – a pretty substantial plant, but it is well-behaved and does not spread like other mints! So far it survived our coastal conditions even in our clay soil, but it is smaller.

• Makes an aromatic mint like tea,
• treat colds, fevers, digestive disorders especially gas,
• Favourite of pollinators.
• Low maintenance, full sun,
• Perennial to 1m, sun or semi-shade.
