Compared to other mountain mints, this species has very narrow leaves, a bushy, well-branched habit and no white leaves around the flower head. It's flowers are among the earliest of the mountain mints in the Upstate. It is easy to grow in the garden. It spreads by rhizomes but not as rapidly as P. muticum. Nevertheless, it may be best suited for large containers, large gardens and natural settings. The mountain mints are outstanding at attracting insect pollinators. They are resistant to damage by deer and rabbits.
