Blephilia hirsuta

Hairy Wood Mint is a shade loving species of the mint family boasting hairy clusters of white to pale pink flower clusters stacked on top of each other on a hairy square stem. Bloom time is extended due to the cluster nature of this perennial flower and occurs mid-late season when there is sometimes a bloom-lull in woodland gardens. The interesting stacked bloom structure of Hairy Wood Mint creates winter interest.

Hairy Wood Mint produces nectar rich flower attracting mainly long tongued bees such as mason bees, leaf-cutter bees and carpenter bees. Mint scented foliage deters herbivore munching while creating extra sensory interest in the garden.
