{"product_id":"mountain-mint","title":"Mountain Mint","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommon or Virginia Mountain Mint is a tall, bushy perennial mint native to what is now the Eastern U.S. and Canada and into the Midwestern states. This showy, fragrant mint grows up to three feet in height with dark green, narrow foliage and long, wiry stems. It blooms in late summer in clusters of lovely white flowers flecked with purple speckles. Its foliage is strongly mint- or thyme-scented when brushed past or crushed in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional mint for tea and culinary use, it is a longstanding medicinal used by many Indigenous peoples of Eastern North America. As with many mints, it makes a delicious tea which can soothe digestion and support the body against cold and flu. An easily maintained garden or native habitat restoration plant, Mountain Mint is endlessly popular with pollinating insects - attracts honeybees, native bee species, wasps, beetles and butterflies.
