Slender Mountain Mint is a clumping native perennial with dense branching stems covered with fine deep green foliage that has a strong mint-like aroma if crushed.  The flat terminal clusters of tiny silvery white to silvery pink flowers bloom throughout summer.  Best flowering occurs in full sun and moist well-drained soils.  The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the leaves can be used to make a mild tea.
