Narrowleaf Mountain Mint
Honeybees are drawn to Narrowleaf Mountain Mint for its rich nectar and pollen rewards, making it a valuable late-summer forage source that supports colony health without surplus honey production in most regions. Peak bloom occurs from July to August, extending into September in warmer areas, providing consistent foraging opportunities. This clump-forming perennial thrives in well-drained soils and is low-maintenance, though it can spread moderately via rhizomes in moist conditions and is rarely browsed by deer.
