Notes:  Slender Mountain Mint is a pollinator magnet for bees and butterflies.  Will naturalize slowly in colder climates, so cautiously in the garden.  This is one of Jane's absolute favorite habitat plants as it attracts such a diversity of pollinators, doesn't seem to spread much, at least in our northern Vermont climate, and is a great filler plant.
