Mystery Mint Plant Echoes in Riverbanks Gardens
A native mint family plant with woody base and opposite leaves is described from Riverbanks Botanical Garden in Columbia. The flowers form rounded heads with pink bracts and yellow glands, attracting bees butterflies wasps and even hummingbirds. The plant is common east of the Mississippi into the prairie states, especially in South Carolina coastal plain and sandhills.
