With stacked clusters of Monarda like lavender flowers, Blephilia ciliata (Downy Wood Mint) impresses in any shade garden.  Blooming for about a month beginning in June it is very attractive to a wide array of pollinators. Its natural habitat can range from prairies to savannas making this a versatile garden plant.  This plant is much less aggressive than its traditional European garden mint cousins.  The minty taste seems to not be liked by most mammals including deer.   Sun Exposure: part shade, full sun  Soil Conditions Mesic, Dry Height 1'-2' Flower Color Lavender Flower Time June, July Frequently Asked Questions Why Purchase From Natural Communities Native Plants?
