Mountain mint (Pycnanthemum pilosum)
This mint has a strong and refreshing taste. The leaves are used dried in herbal tea. Native to North America. Big advantage: it is not invasive like other mints. It can grow in a rockery, in poor soil, and requires practically no care. Its flowers are white and its leaves delicate.
Attract pollinators!
