Hello Paul,
Pycnanthemum has about 4 or 5 species here locally. Good native and a very
important plant for bees. Bees are, of course, important for pollination if
we want seeds. As far as I know all have this distinctive scent or
fragrance.... I happen to like the minty aroma. They grow either in mostly
sun or some shade and are easy to establish. Excellent for native meadow
plantings.
