I love the color and shape of this plant. It is a member of the mint family, but unlike most other plants in this family it has a nice upright habit that makes it attractive in the garden. It comes in red, white, purple and pink colors, and its flower is tubular making it very attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds. This plant also has a long bloom time, lasting for several weeks. The leaves are slightly fuzzy which helps keep mosquitoes away from your patio or deck if you grow them in pots nearby. I often use an infusion of Bee Balm leaves to make a tea that has been said to relieve symptoms of colds and flu as well as headaches.*

• You can use mountain mint in cooking: The leaves have a spicy flavor that can be used to flavor meat or add interest to an otherwise bland soup or salad.
• Dried leaves of mountain mint are also used for tea or flavoring alcoholic drinks.

A perennial plant is one that lives indefinitely—sometimes for years, sometimes even decades—and produces minimal foliage once grown from seed.

It’s like having a permanent member of the family in your backyard and it can serve its purpose year after year.

We’ve been looking for the most reliable and effective kinds of perennials to grow in our garden and this list represents what we believe are the best perennials that stay green all summer long, year-around, without any special care other than occasional pruning/watering/dusting:
