Northern Wildflowers Dotted Mint Pkg.

Approximately 200+ seeds per pack, covers 30 ft²

Dotted Mint (Monarda punctata) is beautiful, undemanding and edible. Native to the Eastern portion of Canada and the United States, the plant's leaves and flowers can be used to make an aromatic tea or as a savoury herb. Dotted mint is drought-tolerant and, although it prefers sand and loam, it will tolerate clay. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice that the plant has a row of flowers, and below, what appear to be flower petals are actually colourful leaves, which may be purple, pink, green, white or yellow. Dotted mint is a favourite food source for the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly.
