Pycnanthemum flexuosum
Also called Appalachian Mountain Mint, Savanna Mountainmint
Appalachian mountainmint (Pycnanthemum flexuosum) is a native perennial mint from the southeastern United States, with white to lavender flowers and aromatic foliage. It is grown in gardens for its flowers and pollinator appeal, and it does best in open, sunny sites with reasonable moisture.
Pycnanthemum flexuosum, commonly known as savanna mint, or savanna mountain-mint, is an herbaceous perennial plant native to the southeastern United States.
Pycnanthemum flexuosum is distributed from southeastern Virginia south to northeastern Florida and west to panhandle Florida and southern Mississippi. There are also disjunct populations inland in southern central Tennessee and in bogs and rock outcrops in southwestern North Carolina.
