Additional Info

Habitat: Bogs, fens, damp to wet meadows and clearings. Infrequent throughout.

Wildlife Value: This plant supports Wavy-lined Emerald (Synchlora aerata) larvae. Attracts butterflies and other pollinators. Plant NOVA Natives lists this species as particularly popular with the non-native honeybees

Notes: Although blunt mountain mint is not considered invasive, it is a vigorous grower, spreading its rhizomes, in optimum conditions. If spreading is not needed or wanted, the roots should be pruned in the spring with a spade.

Edibility: Leaves and flowers used for tea
