I like Pycnathemun muticum best because the silvery bracts really look nice in my native plantings. but all mountain mints are amazing for looks and pollinators! Love the stuff! I plant them with monarda along my garden pathways so anyone brushing up against them gets a lovely aroma of spearmint/ peppermint scent with the earl grey tea scent of monarda.
Are you growing these colonies to sell seed? You seem very knowledgeable and I’m amazed at your pronunciation of the cultivars name. I learned a lot watching this. Ty ❤
Thank you for this video. It was perfect!! I really needed this video and information thank you for being so very descriptive the only thing I just kind of question is that would be cool to get closer UPs of the plant but that's it, live in Michigan and have been getting so many native flowers, mostly native And it's crazy to see how they prefer native way more than non native species or hybrids or non native, or an invasive species. , I've noticed with gardening for over 18 years that 90% of the time they have way more pollinators and definitely different kinds. in way more different kinds. I used to hate goldenrod for some reason we just when I was growing up I was told it was for my allergies. And I don't know for some reason I just thought it was ugly you see it everywhere and the sides of roads. But this year I've actually grown to like them t same as milk weed. So I added those to the gardens in the bees f****** go crazy over them too. after looking really close to goldenrod and researching it fucking appreciate its beauty so many ants flies nats butterflies wasp bees months. I just would see it growing everywhere so it doesn't really fascinate me but over the years I've started to appreciate it needed flowers so much. I found one prairie dock plant down the road from my house and God I want that plant that plant is what brought me to this video and I don't want to dig it up out of its habitat even though it was on the side of the road since there was one but I'm going to go back there and harvest the seeds and when those grow at my house I'll spread the seeds around my house. And also spread the seeds down the sides or roads and what not.
I planted some rattlesnake master last year, so I’ve only had it for one season (they didn’t flower last year as they were small). What do I do in the spring (now) for pruning and maintenance? I’m hoping they lived as none of them are showing growth yet (though most plants here are just starting to grow). The leaves are all brown and crunchy. Should I cut the leaves back or just leave them until I see growth?
Thanks for the reply. I did end up losing 3 of them due to root rot, but all the other ones have been growing well. I trimmed off the brown areas and it did fine. Still no flower stems growing but I would be surprised if they did produce any this year
These all grow throughout the Midwest, upper Midwest pretty much from Minnesota to the east coast on down into Georgia and often into Iowa, and Nebraska or even the Dakotas for some.
Native to where, big guy? "Native" is pretty contingent on the location. I'm half way through the video and you haven't mentioned where you are located. C'mon Moe
Why be a troll, big guy? Why not help foster a supportive, constructive community, big guy? This is a very useful video, big guy, even for me who lives in the northeast where not all of these plants are native. I just googled a range map and you could too, big guy.
Haha, lotta push back for a pretty tame and honest critique. Maybe just mention the location next time and chill out....big guy - "The lady doth protest too much, me thinks" or "a hit dog howls"...lol@@benchrestman1685
Amazing nursery. Thanks so much for showing us around.
This is amazing!
Thank you :D
Mr O'Brien clearly knows this stuff!
Thanks for this nice tour!
This is great! Thank you for your presentation Mr. O'Brien! : )

What zone are you in?

The leaves should be green. It may be dead.
It is an evergreen plant in its native range.

Some of those plant names are tongue twisters! Lol
Perhaps tell us where you are in the video. It’s a big country and “native” is relative.
He stated Indiana early part of the video.
Zone please
Not positive but I believe they are located in northern Indiana, which would put them in zone 5b.

Do a little research for yourself. That’s part of the fun. But you knew you could do that already didn’t you, big guy?
