This elegant, multi-stemmed perennial reaches heights of two to three feet with fine, needle-like foliage and shimmering clusters of small white and purple spotted flowers. It serves as a premier nectar source for an array of pollinators, particularly solitary bees, flower flies, and specialized wasps that provide natural pest control. Beyond its ecological value, the slender leaves emit a cool, minty fragrance when crushed and can be utilized fresh or dried for a mild, refreshing tea. Paired with flavors like vanilla to create an almost root beer flavor!
