Hairy Wood-Mint may be
easily confused with:
- Hoary Mountain Mint
On the hairy wood-mint flower, the middle lobe of the lower lip is much longer than the others; flower clusters are hairier. Leaves of the hoary mountain mint are lighter in color.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
