Mint, Mountain (Pycnanthemum virginianum)
Mountain Mint is one of the best plants to grow to attract pollinators to the garden, including various bees, flies, butterflies, wasps and beetles. The leaves are very aromatic and when they are bruised they give off a pleasant strong mint aroma. Very fragrant indeed.

The species name, Pycnanthemum, means "densely flowered" which lends to being able to feed many pollinators.
