Don't let the name "mint" scare you — this isn't the invasive culinary mint that takes over your yard. Virginia Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum) is a well-behaved, clumping perennial that smells fantastic. It has a beautiful, frosted appearance that looks great in a vase. In my garden, this is consistently the plant with the most activity; it’s like a 24/7 airport for butterflies and bees from July through September.
