Downy Woodmint (Blephilia ciliata)

$5.00

Downy Wood Mint is an unusual looking plant, that is reminiscent of Bee Balm. The flowers attract many different kinds of native bees, but the deer typically leave it alone (Illinoiswildflower.info). Being in the mint family, it will spread by rhizomes slowly from a central tap root to form clumps.
