Hummingbird Mint
Hummingbird Mint
Pollinator friendly, Southwest native plant that loves sunshine and drought tolerant.
Comes in different colors of blooms: orange, yellow, pinks, and purples.
Leaves are very fragrant, ranging from minty and citrusy to anise and licorice scented. Attracts many hummingbirds hence the name.
Leaves can be used to make an herbal tea and used in floral arrangements.
We eat the flowers that have a minty, almost honeysuckle taste.
