Hairy Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum Pilosum) is typically found in open woods, rocky slopes, outcrops, thickets, prairies, stream valleys, and along railroads. Prefers full or partial sun and moist to slightly dry conditions. Growth is best in fertile loamy soil; it also flourishes in rocky soil. Hairy Mountain Mint is easy to grow, if it receives adequate water during summer droughts or some protection from the afternoon sun. The leaves of this plant can be boiled in water to create a minty tea. Hairy Mountain Mint is a great pollinator as the flowers are very attractive to many kinds of long-tongued bees, short-tongued bees, wasps, and flies.
