Blunt Mountainmint exhibits a robust and bushy growth habit, reaching heights of approximately 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm). This perennial boasts lance-shaped, deep green leaves that provide a background to dense, rounded flower clusters surrounded by showy, leafy bracts that often have a silvery or bluish tint. When the foliage is disturbed, it releases a distinct spearmint aroma. Although this plant thrives in moisture-retentive soils, it is also remarkably adaptable, maintaining vigor even in medium well-drained conditions.
