Mountain Coyote Mint (Monardella odoratissima)
So many native western mints go under-utilized in gardens, so lets fix that! Mountain coyote mint is a compact subshrub that ranges throughout most of the West, tolerating a wide range of conditions from drought to extreme winter cold. In spring this pollinator magnet will bloom head to toe in bright pink, emanating a delicious minty aroma all season long.
This species makes an excellent addition to low maintenance plantings, and compliments Penstemons and rubber rabbitbrush nicely.
Plants are sold in 1 quart pots.
